We're pitting two Commonwealth infantry companies in defence (British Guards Motor and Aussie Rifle) against two German infantry companies in attack (DAK Panzergrenadiers x 2). The game is sort of a prelude to Second Alamein, where the Commonwealth forces have just been driven back to the last line of defence.
The scenario is a Trench Fight and for that we need a network of defences - trenches, minefields, barbed wire and gun pits. I've spent the last week and a bit beavering away producing a pile of suitable terrain and here it is. All of it is hand made, even the mines and barbed wire.
For those who are interested, total cost was something like $80 Aussie. In terms of "entertaining stats" I went through about 40m of wire, 50 tubes of super glue, 6m of timber quadrant and half a kilo of sand to name just some of the ingredients.
Mr Millsy aka "Spare Hand One" was a great help holding the other end of the barbed wire while I cranked my hand drill to give the appropriate twist. Is there nothing a good Aussie girl can't do???
Plenty more pics to follow tomorrow when the table is loaded up with figs and more terrain.
Cheers,
Millsy
