Friday evening, Tom's Brits against the Germans somewhere in France. Tom used one Firefly and three Sherman 75's plus infantry supports. I used one jpzr4 L79, two pzr 3Ls , one Stug.
See how Panzer IIIs fared against Shermans. Not good. Firefly too good, took out my Jagdpanzer first turn, bit of a bummer. Still good game as Bruce used to say. Looking forward to next game, ACW 24th Sept.
Thanks Tom.

This is our third ECW game and each one gets bigger and better. It started as a Birthday bash our Tom organised for me. We chose as a guide the battle of Montgomery and laid the game over 3 tables. The town of Welshpool, the Castle and town of Montgomery and the battlefield between the river Camlad and the Severn. The table was 24' x6' which about the longest we can do in the club! The Royalists lead by Paul Ireland were a brave crew with Colin Smith, Steve Cornes, John Sheldon and Tom Corbett. Parliament was under the control of James Garland, Dave Shergold, Andy Collyer, Ian Steventon, Charles Singleton and myself.

The D-Day game held at Pimley Manor.
May I in the first place thank those who came along to enable John’s and mine flight of fancy which was to put on a Bolt Action D-Day game. Those coming allowed us to do the game we wanted to play. We used the Bolt Action rules as those are know by a majority of those that played. They sort of coped with the numbers of players and the situations that arise during the game. Impressive to see the collections of figures, tanks and landing craft that people brought to the game! Noted some had been up the early morning to get everything painted and ready for the game.

Critical point in the centre action of Trafalgar. Having broken through the Combined Fleets line and raked the stern of the French flagship Bucentaure, HMS Victory leads the British white squadron into close action. Interesting and highly enjoyable big fleet action with Ian Steventon .
