Thank you! Hope it was as much fun to play as it was to read about. I'd been meaning to game out that one myself. |

An excellent read – and a tough one for the defenders!
Perhaps they should get a 'win' if they hold out for 15 turns! |

Thanks guys, I did set a game limit for the Vichy at 20 turns |

Bravo. An eclectic mix of troops and armor. Have to love a scenario where a R-35 is your big tank.
Thanks Joe |

Yes the R-35 was king of the battlefield in Syria/Lebanon :) |

Very nice setup and forces, Richard. I've never been much interested in the Syria campaign (it's one of those "Why?" campaigns to me), but from reading your AAR's, and the review on Fighting Vichy From Horseback, I'm changing my mind. |

The research itself was interesting. The gathering/organising, buidling and painting the variety of units was actually a good project in itself. The size and level of the actions make them easily transferable onto a tabletop too. |

The research itself was interesting. The gathering/organising, buidling and painting the variety of units was actually a good project in itself. I find the research and gathering of the force to be the part I enjoy most. Painting, however, is usually a chore. Between your Vichy AAR's and my mate's 1940 Desert stuff, my wallet is trembling… |
