Eisenhower visits Durham Wargames

 Eisenhower visits Durham Wargames 

Four British Divisions vs four German, 1944,  Corps level gaming.

The Germsns deploy first as defenders 

And it's a nice looking setup

We get some quality,  but not much quantity.

And the Allies appear, with their objectives.

And I lament our terrible dice luck.  They drub us from the air.  Pity we threatened to shoot our cowardly luftwaffe.

And once they jolly well come.

And our centre reels.  We put our worst division there!

But our reinforcements, 12SS turn up an batter his flank.

Meanwhile overn on our centre we are pretty much broken

Still weather put up a good fight.  For the bad guys!

And 12SS almost get behind them.

We hold the village on the right.  Against all common sense, but we hold that objective.

And I've with some late tank action we must concede.
A win for the forces of Good.

Swapping sides for next week!
