looks great.

I think BA plays quite well with multi player type games.
Can you give feed back on that subject, please.
For example did you have different sets of command dice?

Having played multiplayer BA games a lot, I can tell you it works best with different order dice for each player. There is no "I need the order this turn!".

Great table!

Our group is re-fighting the "Bridge at Remagen" on the 7th March, (70 years to the day)
We will probably have three players a side, and we had already decided to use six different sets of dice.

Don't you just hate artillery misfires 
Great looking table!

Yes, of course.  I agree, multi-player games are great for BA (we sometimes pull two command dice at a time ... just keeping track of which got pulled first in case the actions end up interacting ... but most of the time this has worked well to speed things up).  Each player/platoon had it's own colour of dice to use --- this is best for larger games IMO.

... yes - but in this case they were not mine

Cheers.
I only hope our refight at Remagen looks as good as your Market Garden!

I'm sure it will --- looking forward to see pictures of the action :-)

Very impressive layout

I've been on the other end, misfiring and I must say, it's awful. Cost me the game and we actually managed to blow up the objective with it.

Great looking game.  I need to start working with teddy bear fur terrain, makes for a very nice looking table.  The raised roadway in particular looks outstanding.

Really great looking game.
I missed the scale, is it 20mm or 25mm?
