Maybe I should have given the Germans some extra divisional support units to give them more of a chance? Having said that if your reinforcements had arrived in turn five or six instead of turn one I think this would have been a very different outcome! Plus you handled 3rd RTR very well and made full use of your full Rate of Fire by following Monty's orders and not 'Balaclavering' the German Panzers. Thanks for coming, and thanks for your help when I got stuck with the rules!BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-76153197922270080462014-02-02T21:17:55.096+00:002014-02-02T21:17:55.096+00:00This looks really fab Lee, well worth all that eff...This looks really fab Lee, well worth all that effort I think!

Flames of War in 15mm when shown in the glossy magazine it headlines, always looks like a close quarter Napoleonic battle but with tanks. Your models look great on that table and very realistic.
