A car park? Not enough people owned cars in the 40s to warrant a car park in a village, let alone a town! The Village Green would be more apt. |

Some years ago at one of the HMGS conventions in Lancaster, there was a game of this scenario using Nuts rules. It was very well done and lots of fun. It too had the incompetent colonel. Tom |

Sean at the Bunker in the UK used to run a game based on this. Great fun, card driven turns and some rally interesting special action cards. I wrote it up and it was published in Wargames Illustrated back in the early 90s. |

This is cool, though I think "Where Eagles Dare" would have cooler |

I only saw this for the first time earlier in the year. Great 70s war film and a good basis for a scenario. Plus you don't require six boxes of Germans for Clint Eastwood to slaughter. |

May I point you in the direction of "Went the Day Well" imdb.com/title/tt0035429 a wartime British film that runs along the same lines only the Germans really are nasty and it's the Home Guard that come to the rescue. There was a time it was on Chanel 4 here in the UK in the afternoon at least once a month. |

Again I saw that quite recently, quite dark considering when it was released, the events depicted could have been reality in many people's minds. I agree it would make a great scenario. |

…and it's the Home Guard that come to the rescue. With some help from the Women's Land Army! |
