1940 France After Action Report
« on: 18 November 2017, 04:27:01 PM »
We had a great 1940 Rapid Fire game yesterday which is to be followed by a cold war gone hot game tomorrow both with French defending home soil. Some lovely models and figures on the table. Write up on the blog with map and OOB.

Love the game.
Reading the ARR, did I miss the scale of the figures?
What ever the scale, great looking toys.

Brilliant looking game and nice to see early War stuff.
Good to see Rapid Fire being brought out of the cupboard.

Beautiful vehicles, figures, and guns, really enjoyed looking at the pictures on your blog.  And I love the layout of the table.

7' seems so wide to reach across to the middle, do you have any issues with it?

Thanks gents, 20mm scale and yes 7 feet is a big stretch even for a tall guy like me. I prefer 6 feet. Glad you liked it. Need to do the 1960/s write up next played across the same table but with Russians replacing the Germans invading France. Didnt go quite so well for the French this time.
