Splendid looking games/campaign Peter.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in how you generate the German advance. I got the initial random shuffling with blank unit markers and how - I assume- they just advanced into the first row of squares. The question is what determines how they move after that?
ReplyDeleteI do like the way this delaying action has traded ground in return for inflicting losses on the Germans.
Hi Rob - I will post something with the next campaign move. I suspect there will be a few more elating actions to come.
DeleteSome fairly strenuous skirmishing going on to begin the operation. The Germans probing for a weak point in the Allied line maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe original campaign as described in War Game Campaigns placed a lot of emphasis on reconnaissance and communications and their problems. The attacks on either flank suggests the opponent (dice) may have found a weak spot.
ReplyDeleteThe guards did their job!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly did in this game.
