Post by: Gazjones on April 07, 2015, 07:39:15 PM
Hi Guys
Just some pictures from a Chain of Command game involving a platoon of Brits from the 5th Wiltshires reaching the outskirts of Maltot in Normandy. My Father and my Uncle took part in the real battle back in 1944.

The Churchill never took part in the game but it looked better in the photo than the Cromwell did.

I'm not very good at AAR's but i'll try next time.
The small grey house and walls are scratch, the rest are from Sarissa.
Cheers ;)

Awesome pictures...

but for some strange reason I immediately think of me, three BA officers more or less trying to understand the locals idea of proper road sings that led you astray... you need to put some of these road signs on your table...

Many Thanks.

Both came through the battle of Maltot, but sadly my Uncle died of wounds received during Operation Bluecoat, August 44 whilst attacking the bridge at La Variniere. He was just 21 years old :'(
