A few Blog posts on the build up to a sort of BKC campaign I'm running, with the first action already played and the AAR in progress. In the meantime the background, OOB etc can be found below:

This is a fantastic concept, Steve!  You've done all your homework and the table looks amazing, I can't wait to see the batrep(s).

On a side note, having dedicated wargaming space is truly a blessing, but I assure you it does not guarantee you less intrusions by real life ;)

V/R,

Looking forward to see how it progresses.

Thanks chaps :).

@ Jack. I tend to game when the family are out or doing other things, as I'm home all day now that I'm a full time carer. So yesterday's game was completed over three mini sessions with no time pressure which was great.

Bit worried the family isn't getting to eat with the dining table full of 10mm loveliness! Unless the carrot cake is on constant supply ;-)

Fortunately the small table in the kitchen is the main place to eat, with the dining table for Xmas, Easter etc and for when we have visitors. The cake is in storage awaiting FtF gaming resuming, as long as the Indian variant doesn't put the caibosh on things.

Nice one Steve, looking forward to see how this progress'. I think the Italian campaign is my favorite 'theatre'.

Playing solo, I'm just wondering if you simply 'play' both sides simultaneously or if you use some kind of system to decide what one or both sides do?

Cheers Paul
T13A Out!

Thanks Paul. I'm sort of playing both sides, but more actively the British as they have a lot more to do as it were, compared to the relatively passive Axis forces. Prior to the start I had a rough plan of action for both sides though, which I sticking to unless obvious events change things. Certainly the narrative is driven from a British point of view.
