MIles doesnt do winter. His Knees swell up so all his troops should suffer a minus to movement in sympathy. Maybe he can field a "stomach" Company

I ll be alright. A German company is equivalent to a Section, as they are paper formations anyway ? So I would be facing only 4 sections an and a couple of confused Stugs ?
LoL

To ensure balance in the universe Ben will play Canadians.

That is kind Dave.
Do tell Ben that he can field Germans as planned no problem, as there do not need to be matched pairs.
Ask Ben to let us know.


thanks

Ben has decided to go with Canadians as it makes it more thematic!

I think King tigers are iconic.
Do bring them Miles.
Even as abandoned tanks.
People will see them and know what the game is about.

I ve packed a few of the tanks we used in 2016.
I've done most of the Scenery some of it is very basic colours but useable. I will finish them off next week. But too late for tomorrow! So please excuse some of my Templates/partials ?

I think that's a great balance for snowy terrain, Miles.

Not everything should be glistening white!

Best of luck to those playing today.

Thank you for today's games. Won one, lost one. Both on the appearance of the Reinforcement platoon ?
Nice to see everyone before Xmas ? Nice to play with our Snow mats. Good excuse to get some snow/wintery templates done, as I didn't have any ?
I am chuffed that on Wednesday a lot of the Templates were "bright" green ! Also some partials were only put together on Wednesday. So to have ready what I did for Saturday, I was happy with !

Well-done everyone.

The tables looked suitably snowy.

Hopefully no issues with the rules?  :)

The theme worked well. Thanks to Miles and Stewart having a snow tables. I would think that most WW2 gamers have a European green table as it is more useful/applicable.

Desert is also very nice. The yellow draws in the spectator.
