Nice little scenario that's given me a few ideas for future games.

I like the clock idea. Adds a certain uncertainty.

Amazing what the Yanks will do for a small cigar.


Cue much soft whistling of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air" from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major aka "Air on a G-String".
Not to be confused with Techno's epic poem about the unshaven stripper

Great fight, Norm, on a great looking board with great looking troops!  I really love the small, 'intimate,' scenario, that's kinda my wheelhouse, playing relatively small, quick fights, I look forward to seeing more.  Despite the Americans being roughly handled ;)

V/R,
Jack

Well done Norm.  Proves you don't need a monster table creaking with lead to stage an enjoyable game.  And thanks for sharing. James

Very cool!!! Was this a solo game?

Thanks all.

Terry, yes it was solo. The system was designed to be solo friendly, helped by the potential of units going Out of Command and being beyond the control of the player and also a bit of help coming fro the random events that can crop up.
