A new building company

Got a few of the 20mm buildings from Total Battle Miniatures http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/index.html together with some 6mm ones (more on that later).

Thought I would try one out so this is first.

British Airborne Supply Dump



The British felt secure in Oosterbeek after they dispatched all of the defenders in record tim. So they established their main RASC location in the park opposite the Hartenstein.

The Prize - Arnhem Bridge

Just a few photos of the "prize" - the Bridge over the River Rhine at Arnhem

The Bridge over the rooftops of a damaged Arnhem

The "Prize"

Last photo courtesy of Greg Blake who took some great shots of the game - I will share some more in coming days.

30 Corp and air support

The inital advance by 30 Corp was progressing well until the head of the column met resistance and lost a few vehicles.

Black smoke at the head of the column means trouble

So some support is called up ....

Almost a gun camera
and the resistance is silenced - well at least that particular threat.  There were many more to come.



The idea was copied by me from a similar setup at  the wonderful Market Garden game played in the US a few years ago.
