The game lasted around 45 minutes which for me is absolutely ideal.<br /><br />The prose was quite subdued as I am saving myself for the year's grand finale!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-48641627242785733662012-12-05T16:57:59.566+00:002012-12-05T16:57:59.566+00:00Hi David,

I need to weigh up the pro's and con's around it and come up with a different solution as Bobs current offering is a little bit out of balance.<br /><br />Jim<br /> Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-70569697669811584262012-12-05T14:44:43.549+00:002012-12-05T14:44:43.549+00:00Hi Jim,

I was concerned about the 'mortar barrage of death' but that was simply because not only was the dice rolling of a very high quality but also the commander was overseeing the firing!<br /><br />The German mortar did not even get to fire a shot the entire battle.<br /><br />I had great fun with this and am looking forward to whatever you dream up next. I only hope though that it does not look as good as my resolved about 10mm is weakening by the day as a result of your efforts!<br /><br />All the best and many thanks 0nce again,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-49927407507303460212012-12-05T14:22:38.045+00:002012-12-05T14:22:38.045+00:00Well done DC, another facet revealed of this littl...Well done DC, another facet revealed of this little gem of a scenario (normally I'm quite modest).<br /><br />I'm sort of happy that your game finished in a similar fashion to mine, it lasted two moves longer perhaps due to the more patient build-up by your German Commander. It sort of makes my outcome seem less of a freak result.<br /><br />You didn't mention the armour testing to run out of fuel at any point, did you make any changes here?<br /><br />Anyway, a superb game. I wonder what the others will think of it!<br /><br />Jim<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.com
