Thanks lads.
Question on the Glalc - why the talcum powder?
I think it's just to give some body to the paste but with no discernible texture. Basically it's like a thickened PVA paste.
This rocks.
Ah, you Danes with your English puns
Here are 'the rocks' in action - well in situ, with a few in-game shots.
We played two games - managed to get a few snaps of action in progress. Not quite a full battle report, but you get a flavour...
The set-up for the first game... No pics taken alas..
The table hastily rearranged for the second game... Tiles turned around and moved around for a different configuration...
Having raced forward past the oasis, the DAK infantry decamp from their half tracks, and PAK 36 deploys...
The PAK took out a Morris Portee with its second shot. After that, it was useless until the end. There was a lot of terrible dice rolling in this game!
The German armour trundles forwards between the mountain and the ruins...
While another DAK rifle section legs it up the mountainside, with an 8-RAD A/C sneaking around the other flank of the hillside...
Crusader and Marder face off...
The Marder back off after an exchange of fire. The Crusader is now in danger of being hit from all directions... The German infantry cautiously advance, hoping to get close enough to use their sticky bombs against the rear of the tank...
But the Marder is eventually hit...
With both the Crusader and the Honey firing on it... The Panzer II tries to pass the burning shell...
Only to be hit in turn... The German armour is now severely depleted, although the PAK 36 manages to hit the Bren Carrier on the hillside...
The British now race forward on the opposite flank, and the German infantry and remaining vehicles and support units start to pull back... End of game. British victory. In fact both games were British victories, even though the balance of forces was probably marginally in favour of the Germans both times.
