A quick BKCII solo game played yesterday, really as an excuse to get some new tanks on the table. The Matilda II's, M11/39's and M13/40's are really very nice models and a joy to paint.

Nice looking game and table, sorry to hear about your under floorboards leak.
Hope the insurance is sorted.
Great looking game.
Thirded !
(The game, :) and the leak X_X)
Cheers - Phil
Thanks chaps :). The insurance company have been excellent and am awaiting an appointment for a leak detection chap to pop round to try and find the source.

Very nice, Steve.
I love all those early war tanks that were designed before people knew how to design tanks.

A trip to Bovington does open ones eyes to the bizarre world of pre-war tank development. I remember the T-26 looking like a 'proper' tank compared to the others, then you see the T-34, the real game changer!

Also really emphasises the size differences. The Panther really is a monster compared to (say) the Cromwell.
Great write up Steve! I also tend to forget about RECCE when I'm playing BKC4. I do find them useful most of the time but I think I forget about them because they aren't engaging in the fight like other units.

Steve, inspiring stuff. All that fun and not a Tiger or Sherman in sight. Lots of enjoyment in early WW2. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Sunray :). I enjoy early WWII as the tanks are fun to have and not too tough to really alter a game, famous last words!

It is well worth seeing if you can buy a Leakbot - I think you can buy them for from Homeserve (assuming you can still do that): https://leakbot.io/
They simply clip onto your mains water pipe just inside the stop-cock and monitor the flow of water through the pipe - so even a tiny flow will register and report it to an app on your phone. It needs a bit of 'training' but will soon register what is normal usage and what is even a minor leak and will 'ping' you an alert. You can then hunt for the leak - which is often under a bath or sink or a washing machine or dishwasher and catch the leak early.
Handy little gadget ... as even if the Insurance does pay out, there is the policy excess and also all that irreplaceable damage and the hideous inconvenience of water damage.
Worth checking out
Thanks Mark. From the investigations it appears to have come from outside during the Biblical deluge of a month back, hence my recent concrete repairs by the front door.
We do seem to be plauged by domestic disasters atm. X_X
