world war two north africa game
« on: 09 May 2013, 03:52:47 AM »
Hi all
I really enjoy gaming with this collection and this time I have gone for the classic AFRICA KORPS patrol caught in a surprise attack by the 8th ARMY.
I think this may be my last game for a while as the wife keeps telling me I am spending to much time in the shed.
The German patrol had two captured universal carriers with mounted guns and they caused the Brits some trouble ,but eventually their vehicles are taken out and as night falls the Germans are left to lick their wounds.

hope you like ...

Looks great, but you may want to do something about those swastikas :)

Looks great! What is that car-tank-thingy the british have, don't think I've ever seen one of those?

Yeah just smudge the swastikas out in paint or something, otherwise you'll have pretty much your entire post deleted

CC it's not a matter of 'offence being caused', more of an 'offence being committed'.  ;)

You've corrected the problem, so no harm done. Fine looking models and figures btw!  :)

Ah, never thought of that. Maybe photoshop them out??

In your defence, I think it's quite clear that you did not post up the pics of the game in order to offend anyone.

Marvellous work on the models and terrain, and as Arléquin pointed out, please take another look at the rules in question. On a related note, the Afrika Korps palm tree swastikas would need to be blotted out, too (they are rather blurry and indistinct in this case, so it should be alright, but keep it in mind for future pics).

Again, marvellous work.
