I play Force on Force (WW2) and have just gamed a Breakout from Normandy scenario at Salute in London, England a couple of weeks ago. A great game and a great show! I'll try to put an ARR together.<br /><br />Talking of Force on Force I have been on the lookout for games markers and noticed your posting on the Ambush Alley forum. Love the markers you have created (version 1.1 with all text black or white about 2.2 megs)and wondered if you would email them to me to complement my games please. Would be very grateful.<br /><br />NicholasColonel Mustardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529217788797907910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183251217140523395.post-51328794670144059742012-04-17T09:48:32.999-04:002012-04-17T09:48:32.999-04:00Hey Rich, thanks for the AAR.

Seriously, the town was too destroyed for a viable outpost for the Brits. They wouldn't have held it in the state you Centrist guys left it in.<br /><br />As for the HMG not moving after set up, this was actually SOP for the First World War. Once the HMG was set up, it was rarely moved. Even the Belgians, who used dog cart drawn Maxims, used the carts to get their HMGs set up quickly. and then generally left them in place for the battle. Once WW1 settled into trench warfare, HMG emplacements were almost never moved. Mobility and heavy fire power (HMGs and large bore mortars) is more of a WW2 development.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I'll see if I can make it to the Kampfgruppe Normandy game. Thanks again for your help and insights.<br /><br />RalphBowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275078656049384303noreply@blogger.com
