For Part 3 or my picture review of
Rampage 09 I am focusing on another game that I had previously seen at Salute. This was a recreation of the famous
Brécourt Manor Assault which was
immortalised in the HBO Miniseries
Band of Brothers.

This game was put on by
Horchurch Wargames Club using scratch built terrain and teddy bear fur for the grass (how many Teddy's did they have to skin to make that table I wonder?).

This table won two awards at Salute 09 and deservedly so. The attention to detail is outstanding.


The
assault of the gun emplacements at
Brécourt Manor by the 101st Airborne is often cited as a classic example of small unit tactics against a superior force.

As well as being pleasure to look at the guys running this game were very friendly and willing to chat about some of the details of the table.
Later today I'll post more pictures from this show.
Awesome ...... beaut of a table. What scale are they using ?
ReplyDeleteI didn't ask at the time but according to their website its 1/35th scale.
