I am now cursing that I sold my hardbacked copy of Battlegroup Kursk by the Plastic Soldier Company.<br /><br /><br />I had planned to do my Lock 'n Load game on the big X-Maps, but the heat here in my 'glass house' is just punishing the game materials, so the smaller maps fit on a a large pinboard which can be moved around the house for short spell gaming.

Looking forward to seeing some action (as I'm sure you are too!). We have a similar heatwave, but get it every year - for three months :) It's pretty tough on the wargaming.

The L'nL scenarios themselves are all pretty meaty affairs, so will take longer to play than usual. Then there is a new (to me ) strategic level game, that I hope to find time to get around to. A full agenda indeed.

While I appreciate the context: at some point I want to read about the actual battle. <br /><br />Looks to be an interesting series coming from you. Seems like a good chance to play what a tanker (that game is every where I look these days) with some small scale tanks if you have a smaller skirmish And go large battle with the hex map and counters. Either way, I expect to see tanks blowing up in no time. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-7982747353815936052018-07-02T22:00:39.930+00:002018-07-02T22:00:39.930+00:00Thanks Steve, Good luck with the painting comp (AV...Thanks Steve, Good luck with the painting comp (AV7 last year I think).
