Square Bashing – Early War – Germans v British

I played Ray Boyles with his Early War British with his Germans.  I defended.  I lost a few in the depletion but nowhere near as many as the week before.

Ray rushed across the table on my left and in the centre.

My off table artillery was represented with this super scratch built German Big Bertha.  It has a marker for assets left.

So the Huns held on after some initial setbacks.

I really enjoyed the game and felt that I am getting into the swing of the game.  Good fun!!

  1. Well Bob, you are certainly charging through that First World War learning curve. I notice my roads curled up at the ends, probably with the heat of your barrages! No worries. I have that sorted for our next game; a really good new material in complete 6ft & 3ft lengths – thanks to my brother who is a floor & carpet layer. Thanks for the AAR.
