Great work, only trouble is they'll only turn up on a Wednesday night, Saturday mornings and all go home on Sunday night

Thanks all. Yes, a company of them turned up on a Thursday, so things must have been serious. After one scheduled air attack, they did sit out the rest of the game garrisoning the outskirts of Hannover, unmolested by even one little tank.

Lots of action at the airport though. Will post some pics at the weekend.

Cheers, Andy

Hi Andy,
good looking game. Don't tell the warpac players but air assaults, more often than not, are suicide missions. Especially when comrade Shaw is in command!WinkGrin

Nice looking game chaps

Those Challys behind the walls at the airport were always going to be trouble - like putting your hand in a welly-boot to get out an angry ferret GrinGrinGrin !!!

"Wrong - de wuz der on Thursday"
I Served as with a small detachment of 219(Wessex) General Hospital RAMC(V), who shared one of TA centres (Bristol)with 1,2 and 3 Platoons and the Anti-tank Platoon of the Wessex Regt, who would only turn up if there was a bar and disco. But that was a long time ago.
PS the Bar and Disco required 1 four tonner and a Landrovcr for the records

Davis613,
was it the medics who only showed up if there was a bar and disco? If so that sounds about right in my experience!
