Continuing with “Operation Sosabowski” a little light reading material arrived today. Hopefully this will tie in nicely with the PSC in this year’s Lard Annual.

Sat listening to this as I paint only to discover that my wife “Dolly” has never seen the film. It’s one of my faves. That’s tonight’s viewing sorted then😃

“Operation Sosabowski” begins. 18 head-swaps putting Warlord Games plastic Polish Paratrooper heads onto Artizan figures. Substituting my existing beret wearing British Paras for the forthcoming Driel scenarios from @toofatlardies.bsky.social

Today’s CoC battle @glenbrookgames.bsky.social v @paulbaldwin.bsky.social was a near replication of the Stationsweg action we fought in The Hartenstein. Took far too few photos as we were jibber-jabbering too much🤦🏻♂️
It quickly devolved into a close firefight on the German left flank.

Tomorrow’s table set for the visit of @paulbaldwin.bsky.social and @glenbrookgames.bsky.social Usual CoC action set in Oosterbeek. It’s my adaptation on a battlefield that @toofatlardies.bsky.social may recognise? (He’ll say not now of course🙄)

German right flank is pinned by fire from the White House. They deploy an MMG to take the pressure off-but achieve no hits. The firefight in the centre proves devastating for the Paras who are pinned and have their JL killed.

German Senior Leader leads his men toward the crossroad objective hugging the parkland fence. Excellent leadership brings the Paras in the hotel back from the brink. Reducing shock and repositioning.

Devastating fire from the hotel leaves the remaining German team pinned. The Stug has been next to useless as support so far.
On the other flank the Paras adopt overwatch in preparation for the assault.
