Falaise pocket is in Southern  of Normandy.

The idea was to trap the retreating Germans.
Anyone interested in Saturday 24th AUGUST
PBI games.
Themed on 1944 German, British,Polish, Canadian, American.
I was thinking 3 tables?

Probably not. Bank holiday Saturday driving towards the coast sounds like sitting in a traffic jam.

I can do at one full table, plenty of Sherman and Cromwell tanks and a Commonwealth force. Canadians or Polish ?
The Canadians had a hard fight on their hands trying to contain the Germans !
I can supply a few German vehicles too if you wanted to reenact clogged up roads with abandoned vehicles ?

I would like 2 more players so we can swap around in the afternoon.
ie we need 4 players and we are green for go.

Sorry Miles.
No takers apart from you and I.
I think we need 4 players minimum so there is some "swap over".


I will organise another PBI day later and see if there is any interest.

Spoken to Colin and explained the situation, he had originally said he was coming to Entoyment. So after a quick chat we will see you on Saturday morning. Colin is very keen to know how the new rules play now ?
I shall be picking Colin up on the way, I think he will put in an order so he can pick it up as well ?
 What do you want me to bring ?
