Here are my Blog posts of a mini-campaign I ran a month or so ago, using a mix of BKCII & BKCIV:

Great set of reports - as always - Steve

And as usual you show us all what fun can be had with not a huge amount of units and kit - but the terrain certainly made it look fantastic.

The use of smoke and the effectiveness of the mortars is certainly something to consider with other such scenarios.

Thanks for sharing.

Great work Steve J, thanks for taking the time to post your campaign Batreps 

Have to agree with Mark below that wargaming wise you have shown us all how one can do a great deal with a relatively small amount of units on each side. As always your table set up looks very realistic.

Good stuff!

Thanks chaps!

My new gaming mat has certainly upped the visual appeal of my games, which is what I hoped it would do and I and others seem to like it . Space and time constraints mean that I rarely have the time at present for Battalion level games, so these smaller actions tick many boxes for me.

@ Mark. I've been meaning to try 2" mortar smoke for years and after a search on this forum, came across your suggestion, which worked a treat. So moving forward I aim to carry on with this. Nott too powerful but if you can get it into the action, it does help, which is of course good to see.
