Normandy 1944

A sort of AAR of a game of Startline that I played with my good friend Keith Flint this morning:

Nice looking game - and jealous of Monday gaming!!

That Jagdpanther is certainly a big cat!

I know the feeling of needing some extra stands of support weapons, or commanders or scouts for different WWII rules - you think you have all the options and then you need something else due to a different representational scale !

Cheers chaps !

@ Fred: the Jagdpanther is one of the newer sculpts, whilst the other AFV's are the older ones, so they are a bit smaller. Even so when you see one in real life they are big beasts!

Great report

I did wonder if it was from a different manufacturer - but newer range would explain it too. I do remember standing next to the JagdPanther at IWM London and its certianly big - but in that hall hard to tell its size vs other AFVs. I think the older PzIVs are probably fairly undersized too.

Good looking game

Thanks for your report Steve J, sounds like a good way to spend a Monday morning 

Having had the privilige of standing next to Tigger 131 at Bovington I can agree fully that German tanks are big, even to my 6'1" frame.

Thanks once again chaps !

The lovely table and figure scale give a very connected feel to a 'real' battle. Good quality gaming time.

Thanks Norm !
