Title: French 1940 'Fall Rot' table set up
Post by: Steve J on 16 February 2026, 05:19:25 PM
I thought I'd share some photos from a game I've got set up, using BKCII rules, and set in France, June 1940. The link for the full post can be found here:

Thanks Fred and not sure how I got the 'wrong' link, but thanks for the 'heads up', so all sorted now :)

That works now!

I've had a look at your table - and I do like the look of it. 

But I've followed the link to Norm's blog, and re-read his review of the Junction Jeopardy booklet, and do wonder if this is more than just the 9 maps? I suppose if it inspires games then that isn't a problem.

Lovely set up Steve  :-bd

Inspired enough to dig out my old 6mm 1940 Spearhead stuff....oh dear they look scarily bad  :-[ .....bit of work to do there before they are fit for the tabletop.

Forczyx's "Fall Rot" book is brilliant.

Looks really good Steve!

Haven't really played BKC since versions 3/4 came out, I just cannot get my head around the visiblity rules (who can see what and when). If only someone not a million miles from me would give me a bit of coaching....

Cheers Paul
