Two German Infantry Regiments with StuG IIIs and two Panther companies in support, plus Nebelwerfers.

British Forces

Two Infantry Brigades with two Armoured Regiments, Recce companies, Anti-Tank Companies, two full Artillery Regiments and a Typhoon Squadron in support!

excellent game report. :)

I don't know why but all Game Reports in 'Comic Vision' look better.

Great stuff. Very dramatic. Must have been difficult to keep track of all the models.

Wow, those are some beautiful models. I really like the mini-diorama bases like that German mortar team.

A truly magnificent combination of models, bases, boards and report.

They do, don't they? It's strange how compelling they are in this format.

For big games like this we use Rapid Fire. Its a fast play system and everyone can get on with it, it also allowed us to reach a conclusion within about six-seven hours of play.

We have a variety of other sets we use depending on the game.

Ok thanks , I have got the new Rapid Fire book but dont like some aspects of it . (Played FOW too much I suppose ) I have been thinking about some Mods to RF so think I will carry on with that.
