A few weeks ago I posted the full scenario details for this game, well we have got round to finishing off the game so here for your delectation is the AAR. A link is provided back to the game map and orbats.

A good close game and a Scenario I would recommend as both sides have a good chance of winning the match up.

Always a favourite here at Castle R.

Ken nice report and the pictures look great.

Your figures are painted very well I wish I had that type of skill.

Overall how long did the Battle last?

Cheers Michael,

We don't do anything quickly at Yarkshire Gamer. I am very fortunate in having a permanent set up so that means we have no pressure to rush a game. Our little group game on Thursday nights from about 19.30 to 22.00 and on a Sunday between 11.00 and 17.00 (with at least an hour for a Fish and Chip lunch) so 2.5 hours on a Thursday and 5 hours on a Sunday but because I work shifts it's usually one or the other each week.

We played this game over two Sundays and one Thursday so 12.5 hours of gaming time, minus a couple of hours for rules arguments another couple for political arguments  (twas Brexit and all that) and a least an hour of aimless chat !

Not quick but fun.

Regards Ken
