On the third attempt, the British push into Fontenay!!

As casualties grow and all the supporting armour gets lost in the mist, the British call off their attack.

Vicious firefight ensues…

Will give it a look!

Hoping so! The solo bots that have appeared in the Lard Mags (playing against “SID”) are quite fun, too!

Just gives a little more friction than a standalone solo game. Started it with Scottish Corridor back in 2019, but didn’t take it far!

Thanks! Had started something similar pre-pandemic but hadn’t followed thru.

Thanks to a great shot from a Pak36 a perfectly-timed mortar barrage, and a string of three phases just when he needed, young Owen gets a second unit of the table to secure victory!

And I suppose you can be the one person in the world playing Big Chain of Command with an all Slovak force.

Didn’t you already have a Paul Hicks-sculpted platoon?

And Chris just announced a summer sale!

That was the one I was referring to

Typical of Pen & Sword. I have 3 Great War books of their with the same soldier on the spine.

Totally get that! Plenty of fun little engagements out that way - and a great Sharp Practice scenario supplement for it, too!

And I mean that as no disrespect to Ed, who was an inspiration to me & countless other NPS folks, but you write for your target audience and the reading public was not the focus of those. The second volume of Wil Greene’s trilogy came out in April. Really enjoy those. Just so few books on Petersburg

That paperback has been promised for years (at least since 2021), so we’ll see. Took forever to get a reprint of “The Last Citadel” for the park. The Bearss book is informative, but is just reformatted versions of internal reports are wrote for the NPS. Definitely some more engaging ones out there.
