 At last - an excuse to use this rather splendid figure of a bored US traffic policeman! |

“ Wargaming in a winter wonderland!”
Perhaps a no one hit for Michael Buble next year ?

A.I. Music programmes should one day be able to create your Wargaming in a Winter Wonderland song title and a suitable 40s WW2 music vibe to be sung by an A.I. Version of Bing, Frank or Micky Bubbles (what he is jokingly called in our house but legally and truthfully not the original name of Michael Buble)

Nice terrain. How long will the 110th Infantry have to delay the panzers for to win the game?
When I was growing up in the 1970s in the Forest of Dean, the only extensive hilly forested area in England, American A10 tank buster areoplanes would often pop-up from behind the crest of a nearby hill and then drop back down again. We assumed they were practicing for stopping Soviet armour when they reached the Ardennes.

Well, since the 110th is a 28ID unit, I think sticking around for more than a turn counts as a moral victory of sorts.
But then, that's because I spent three years with the 104th Cavalry and since we were DIVCAV at the time, we used to look down our tank gun barrels at "the crunchies". My story and I'm sticking to it.
Love the table. I suppose I should roll out my Shermans and have a go at a Panther in a Winter Wargame-Land, too.

How'd he get past Border Control? :-)
Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
