Please see link for the next, and last, battle in my refight of Just Jack's ‘Kampfgruppe von Klink Poland 1939' campaign. Here, German forces try and reduce one of the last Polish pockets of resistance…

Whirlwind: An interesting series of games! I think you are right about trying to add some personalization to the games. Historians may try to make it look good, but often tactical and even strategic decisions are made for personal reasons. Mussolini being in a bit of a snit with Hitler in 1940 and deciding to invade Greece, or Visconte-Prasca's assurances that he had plenty of men for that invasion because he was only a lieutenant general and bringing in more divisions would result in the command going to a full general, come to mind.

TomPainter:
Welcome to the infamous TMP bug! Nice looking figures. I didn't know anybody did cave people in 1/72nd scale.

Very interesting AAR. Are the rules available anywhere?

Thanks both. These rules aren't available yet, but I know the writer intends to publish at some point not *too* far in the future.

It is great to see some 6mm games being played here, Whirlwind. It was an interesting campaign you played out.

Thanks Captain Pete, appreciate it. There are often 6mm games getting to my table, although I do rotate through different periods.
