Based third battalion of batch 4 

Finished off basing of the other two battalions 

No more progress on batch 5

Processed the pictures from last nights game 

Haven't started the report as yet  but here is a taste... 



Most of I/32 Piyade Tabur (Infantry Battalion) charge up Hill 405 at the remaining squadron of 1/1^st Berkshire Yeomanry. The other defending squadron having suffered heavily from artillery and rifle fire. The third squadron was still advancing from Beit Durdis.

The Wellington Mounted Rifles are standing in for 1/1^st Berkshire Yeomanry.

The scenario is based on events around Beit Durdis and Hill 405, east of Gaza, during the 1^st Battle of Gaza, 26^th March, 1917.

First evening of the first 1917 scenario seemed to go well 
I have posted a couple of questions on the Too Fat Lardies Yahoo group and forum as the separate MG commands seem very deadly  (but it is WWI)
and the Blinds cards aren't turning up very often

Got some useful feedback on the Too Fat Lardies Yahoo group and forum 

We got the MG rules right 

Also have a couple of options for the blinds not turning up to discuss with the lads before we resume our game next Saturday 

Hi Paulr

May I ask where you got your mat from? I particularly like the sandy colour

Cheers

It is a beige bed sheet sprayed lightly with a mid brown paint

Ta very much! Certainly looks very effective with the brown mottling


Cheers

Some progress over the last few days, being back at work has certainly slowed progress and the heat hasn't helped

Finished the basing on the last battalion of batch 4

Painted Herefordshire unit flashes and remembered why I prefer painting figures before basing them

Just need to varnish them and they will be done, shame the forecast is for strengthening northerlies

Have made a start on after action report but will probably wait till we play the second half, tomorrow night, before posting

Need to make some progress on batch 5 tomorrow
