Very nice lay out but I have questions, bearing in mind I have no idea how the rule system works. But, did the boot neck right flank not have time to invest and then roll up the German line? Given the boggy ground, why were the commandoes not in the LVT's which would have made light of the terrain. Also, given the Paras could see the German defensive positions across the canal, were they not allowed to snipe into the unprotected rear which I would imaging would cause some consternation to the defenders? I am referring to the Paras on their left flank covered by the hedgerow of the field from the village. Just asking because that is where my mind went when I saw the final positions of troops.
Hi, good questions. The scenario restrictions imposed on the Commandos were that they could not deploy the LVT's until they had deployed all of each Commando Section (Platoon). So the LVT's were not available straight away and when they were deployed they were slow to move up as their functionality was based upon the Chain of Command Saipan mini-campaign where they activate on a 1 and can either move or fire but not both. As far as the second question, it was down to the Player as they chose not to.
Another great looking table 👍
Great history lesson of this battle and scenario.
Love to see small channels making a go if it! Great stuff and really pretty table
Glad you like it!
Well done.
Nice to see Chain of Command being used.
How did you make the template for the units on the side tables
The ones on which the figures were placed are just created using MS PowerPoint.
