Next battle - not the Battle of the Bulge.

But might have some similarities...
The idea is that the Americans are expecting a massive German attack down the road to the village. American forces are facing that direction, the woods on the right flank are deemed impassible.

The buildings are ones I bought in a charity shop for £3.50 each in 2015... found a use for them!

It also gives me a chance to use these old warhorses - dating back to the late 60s.

Looking at the Shermans, one of them had a transfer on the underside. This is something I did back in the 60s as well - so another rather ancient warrior.

So, the idea is that a Stuart keeps watch and shoots back to warn everyone of the attack.

Except the Germans intend to do this...


Hopefully, should be interesting.

    1. The really scary thing is these tanks were made about 50 years ago - and only 20-25 years after the end of the war - so the time between making them and now is twice as long as the time between the end of the war and making them! It just seems unbelievable
