Jon,

I stole this scenario from Bob MacKenzie's great gaming site

He sets his games up for Command Decision, so I scale them down and pick a section of the battle to run in IABSM scale.

Mark Luther has uploaded photos from a recent demo game. As he describes it:

IABSM AAR
This was a 6mm I Ain't Been Shot, Mum! game that I ran at Hobbytown, Kennesaw, Georgia, June 6th. The game depicts the action along the N80 road running out of Hannut between parts of the II Pz Btn of the 35 Pz Rgt of the 4th Pz Div and the 2e Escadron of the 2e Cuirassiers of the 5e Brigade Legere Mecanique in May 1940. I picked this setting mainly because it was relatively simple to set up and only had tanks. It was a probably futile attempt to get some of the GW and FoW fanboys interested in something close to a historically based game. At any rate, it was a quick but fun game that showcased the superiority of the S35's armor and armament over the panzers and the German's superiority of tactics of massed use of armor.
