Wonderful looking game. Especially love the random fog and friction of...

"I spoke to him once in English and we got penalized with a Stuka attack which brewed up a Vickers light tank."

Cheers,

Hey I can bring forth lots of witnesses (mainly management) who will swear on oath
that my mind doesn't work at all!

Just built more German recon for this period.
Just need to paint them up now.
All plastic figures.







Tried to vary the poses, with figure swaps and head swaps.

Many thanks, it was great fun, as it was “old school” gaming. Not too much stressing.

Agreed. stressing is for real life, not for a relaxing hobby.

Bob, with that many you should be able to catch, not only Steve McQueen,
but also Dr (Indianna) Jones as well.
I see them being used in a 'recon' game. Ahead of the main force. At the end of
their game the players have to make a recommendation to the Panzers who are
following. Too skimpy a Recon = not finding the pit falls. Too much recon = becoming
tied down in their own fire-fight and delaying the tanks. What do you think?
