That will give you ten days to get the history straight before you play the games Simon!

No reports yet, the radios are still not working and the groups have been cut off incommunicado.

The Guards are still make their tea.

Well, they're not dropping until next weekend, so there's a little time yet

Gentlemen, A recce flight has taken place over Arnhem Bridge I am confident that we are faced by old men and boys. Any armour can be considered as useless and being used for spare parts. The party is on for Saturday, God Save The King.

Well done Dave, that looks fantastic BZ!

Thanks guys, its a shame the figures are only blown over. But they should be done for Beachhead.

What troops do you need ? Those that are coming might be able to provide the painted ones for now ? Put a list ? Your be surprised what we on this forum can supply for Saturday.

What an excellent idea, Miles!

Its the Para's that are the main problem. Martin is fielding 3 platoons, but will need another 4, plus a platoon of mortars and HMG.

The problem is for the figures and the vehicles that my hand has broken 3 times in the last 6 weeks. I have concentrated on getting stuff ready but painting is dreadful, it really has been painting on painkillers.
