When I see terrain like that, I always try to see where Fuzzy-Wuzzy is lying in ambush. This is not intended to shew disrespect to your game or models, I hasten to add.

Good looking game and report  :)

Is it just me, or do the forces seem a bit one sided :-\

Panzer IIIs are one of my favorites, too.

Great looking game, but I thought Rommel never lost!?  ;) ;)

Thanks for posting.

If the Germans were as good as everyone said,
and the Americans were as good as they thought
and the British were as bad as they made themselves out to be
World War Two would have been a whole lot different :)

Ithoriel,

Don't I know it!  You've seen my batreps; my uber-troopers have been less than uber ;)
