The DAK sure dished out some punishment there - and that smkoe was effective too. Who were you leading, Commissar?

I was the games host and rules lacky. I find my not playing a side I can be found to be more unpartial about the rules.

Great stuff ! I like the WWII NA Campaign ! Built a lot of HO/OO scale WWII AFVs ! Like the models and your terrain ! And I like the LW rank & Camo Avatars ! We should have something like that here !

Lovely! Really nice terrain and figs!
I just love the Grant tank- its so bizarre...
I like the NA Campaign too - lots of Australian actions there against both Italians and Germans
The only thing that keeps me off FOW is that its 15mm, yet another scale to start collecting...

Thanks CC- cool batrep, some great scenary and nicely painted tanks. The British tanks did nt seem up to that mcuh apart from being target practice for the Panzers.
Very historically accurate!!
Cheers

The "Honey" Stuart tanks were just outclassed by the Panzers. ?The Grants were not but suffered from bad luck. ?
Bad armor saves, bad to hit rolls, bad firepower test, it all went wrong.
The Panzers were actually would actually struggle against the Grants, but things did not fall into place.
War is heck!!!

But if you are going into 15mm VSF whats a few WWII figures going to hurt.
