"This World War II game report is inspired by the scenario Pont-de-la-Croix from Gavin Lyall's "Operation Warboard" book. There have been some modifications to the forces compared to the book's scenario.

I remember Operation Warboard, though my copy had a different cover. My recollection is that it was geared for late WWII: in my early war game, the Somua S-35s and Panzer IIIs weren't able to knock each other out at any decent looking range and were almost reduced to ramming each other. Sounds like your rules gave you a good game. Grelber |
