A few pics from our last game of 2017 – the third game in our Battlegroup Market-Garden campaign; this time Company H from the 502nd PIR try to move into Best.
A full parachute rifle company up against a reinforced infantry platoon that was further reinforced by a second platoon as the game went on.
The game went all the US way, even with two planes arriving to help out, but somehow the Germans clung on. The US Battle Rating was finally broken by a stray round from one of their own mortars that took out one of their own MG teams!
Its now 2 – 1 to the US Airborne in the campaign…
Fantastic table and models!
Indeed, always a pleasure to see, you have been missed of late?
Everything ok dude?
Apart from the high end modelling, the game has a railway and roads/hedges that don’t parallel the table edges!!
Good innit.

Yes, in the past year, I’ve read on a modeller forum that one of the keys to nice dioramas is not to have things parallel to the sides.
I figured it would apply to wargames too! And clearly that’s correct; good god, Piers, this is “flocking” gorgeous – please note the double/triple entendre there! I always love looking at Piers’s vehicles (even if they are based, LOL – I can’t resist the poke, sorry), figures and scenery, this is no exception. EDIT: Hopefully Piers sees this or perhaps someone else can answer – what is the really lovely looking “bush type” material being used? It’s especially prevalent in the last picture around the front of the 105. I would normally use lichen for this sort of thing, but this material is particularly effective and I’d like to buy a bale or two of it. It is indeed clump foliage used in model railways. I just have a big box of it that I scatter liberally everywhere!
And those tanks aint based… 😉
