Excellent table well done.

I plan to use the Pegasus Bridge scenario as a basis for one of the games my regular gaming group will play when we get to my fictional Central American country in the late 80s. The US will be invading El Perdomo in late '88 or early '89, and in lieu of British Ox & Bucks in gliders, it'll be US troops in UH60 Blackhawks.

Waiting to see how your game ends up...

Is is 20mm, a mix of PSC and ab figures. The bridge is 4Ground MDF.

Thanks, the game is ongoing, I’m playing solo trying to figure out a balanced scenario for me and my mate to play.

Only thing you need to add the train station and water tower on the Bénouville side, and the building opposite the cafe.

Cheers

Post by: TacticalPainter on June 07, 2025, 12:17:57 AM: Lovely looking table. I love the way 20mm allows you to create a lot more space on a table than a larger scale. I play many other periods in 28mm, but somehow 20mm hits the absolute sweet spot for me for the Second World War.
