Always refreshing to see two good sports playing a game to win, but happy to discuss each other's plans and the rules. This was a brutal but fun watch looking forward to seeing the fight back from the ashes.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks, we try to have a laugh, but still take the game slightly seriously. Hopefully the right combination for most

[@joshwood1649]

It didn’t effect the game, however transports being destroyed by enemy being closer is at the end of the turn, I believe

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, true.

[@trentweston8306]

Fantastic terrain and board setup here guys I am slowly watching your old battle reports 1 by 1.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Some of those videos are pretty ropey quality if you are going right back to the beginning, but fun games mostly.

[@rich_john]

Great battle!!! ..a tough german battle line to break through. A successful preliminary bombardment would have helped with a few pins to keep the panther and Pak heads down.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, definitely a tough game for John, the great thing about campaigns is lop-sided battles which you have to try to win.

[@samb2052]

I can’t help thinking that using some smoke would’ve helped the attack. Tough job for the attacker moving onto the table straight into sight of the defender.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Well yeah, but that's the game for you.

[@joshwood1649]

Once again totally incredible gentlemen

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks Josh. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Fun game gents as per usual - 1000 points each on a 4x4 table cut down on the attacking options for Jonny B in terms of space to manoeuvre, but then again with his dice rolls he'd have struggled on a 12x6 table! Interesting to see what this does on the campaign map.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Dice Gods hated him that day for sure.

[@fogh]

Ooow! Cracking game. When the British artillery hit the Panther I thought JB was going to pull it out of the bag but great recovery from the Bosch. 👍

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

There was a moment when he had a chance.

[@wilmgrau6206]

Very enjoyable as always

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks again!

[@2ManyHobbies16]

Kaiser setup Johnny, didn't stand a chance. Especially with the failed bombardment ROLL.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Being a campaign mission it can be horribly one-sided.

[@Danjs26]

Chaps!!! What a great watch loved the layout and seeing all the tanks was awesome! I really need to stop buying more fleeces and start filling out one a little more.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@anthonyrussell0912]

Nice to see the Devons in action

[@rodento3220]

Get em Kaiser! Too bad I am across the pond from you I think it would be awesome to play a game with you guys!

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

You never know, one day the channel might be big enough to pay for us to come over to a big US convention.

[@rodento3220]

@@ModellingforAdvantage When/if that ever happens I would like to play a game or three with you all and have a few pints.

[@dastommygun]

That "on fire" marker with the led light is really neat! where did you get it? :)

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Jonny B made it with a tea light and some smoke fluff

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Brilliant game.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks guys.

[@Danjs26]

Also I can’t help but think you need to be playing with a glass of single malt each. Much more of the generals kind of feel to it then.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Ah too true sir

[@benhiscox-smith3449]

Awesome game thankyou guys. Where did you get your terrain?

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Mixture of places, board itself is hand built as are some of the pieces - the trees are cheap ones that we sprayed and re-flocked as well as cut some branches off.

[@robbie_g8308]

fun as usual. question where are the trees and roads from

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Roads from a chap in the UK on eBay. Trees are pretty old cheap ones from China, but they have been painted and re-flocked as well as having some branches clipped off to remove uniform feel

[@hobbyspotnz2833]

You love to see it. I'll be that annoying rules guy in the comments but I think you can't run through light terrain like the Hedges. Dunno if you guys play that or not.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Yeah, that's true, did we actually do that at some point?

[@hobbyspotnz2833]

@@ModellingforAdvantage cheeky house rule to say you can.

[@gazzavc]

I think the British player should have conceded the game after turn 1 or 2. There was never any chance in obtaining ANY of the objectives with the setup the way it was done. To be honest this did not appear to be a particularly well balanced game, driving onto the board into the teeth of a dug in German Panther, Pak 40 and Puma......

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

This is a campaign game, so the battle was not balanced. The British only had armour available on the campaign map, whereas the German force was mixed. It is an inevitable consequence of a campaign - you get imbalanced games which you still have to try and make the best of.

[@gazzavc]

@@ModellingforAdvantage ahh, that makes a bit more sense now. What period of 1944 NW Europe did you base your campaign on ?
