""On the morning of the 14th June, we were set to attack the village of Lingevres. As I recall, we started to move forward, with ‘A' company to our left, and ‘B' company to our right. We passed through the centre, over the road, and entered a large cornfield. The men were well spread out, with rifles at port position, as we waded waist high through the corn. We would be about five hundred yards up the triangular shaped field, and were advancing towards the apex when all hell was let loose: withering spandau fire (light machine guns), snipers, and mortars caught us in the cross fire. Men were falling left, right, and centre…The lads were still advancing, past the bodies lying everywhere. Later, we learned the 9th Battalion had suffered casualties of 226 men and 22 officers in only about an hour and a half."…"

That is a great looking game with excellent terrain and well painted minis. The AAR was great! |
