It has taken ages but we are finally at the stage where we can start our 6mm Normandy Battles. Initially these will be a range of scenarios covering the fierce fighting which took place in and around Caen. I am still working on the scenario specifics. As usual I will be somewhat free and easy with historical accuracy to create fun and balanced battles which we can get through in the evening.
First up we have the German counterattacks by the 12th SS Panzer Regiment under Standartenfuhrer Kurt Meyer. These took place in the afternoon of the 7th of June against the leading elements of the unsuspecting Canadian 3rd Division as they headed for Carpiquet Airfield.

ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be pretty. Hopefully catch up tomorrow ?
DeleteWhich rules will you be using? I keep looking at Pendraken tanks and thinking deserty thoughts...
ReplyDeleteWe use Blitzkrieg commander, like every ruleset some love them some hate them. I like them we seem to get fairly balanced battles with enough sense of realism without excessive complexity and normally some good fun 😀
DeleteI'm looking forward to the AAR.
