Baskeyfield VC - IABSM3, Devon Wargames Group

[carojon]

We played a very interesting scenario yesterday featured in the the Too Fat Lardies 2007 Xmas Special covering the VC winning action of Lance Sergeant John Baskeyfield on the Oosterbeek perimeter at Arnhem



The game turned out to be an exciting, tense affair with many twists and turns before the end. If you would like to know how it went then just follow the link to the DWG blog.

I had seen some ads for this and I haven't seen it.
Thanks for the endorsement, I'll have to get a copy.
Cheers

I bought the VHS copy some years ago from the Staffs's Regt Museum. As one man's tribute to a Hero of Arnhem it's absolutely staggering.He bought two 6pdrs from a scrap yard and wound up blagging a Squadron of tanks from the Army to film as Panzers on Salisbury Plain!
