What Did you Do in the Commemoration, Daddy?

[Abwehrschlacht]

For this weekend’s commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the start of the campaign on the Somme, I have designed a scenario for Square Bashing that I am hoping to play over the weekend. There’s more information on my blog, any comments are welcome!

We did the assault on Serre and Beaumont Hamel last night.

Have you got an AAR Martin? How went the day? Did the Sheffield Pals break the line?

I shall post an AAR this weekend.

It was a somewhat minimalist game, but suffice to say that Hunter-Weston appears to have been replaced with someone who knew what they were doing.

They didn’t exactly make it Berlin, but neither did they replicate the historical result of the entire Corps being back in its trenches or lying dead all over the German first line at the end of the first day.
