Next Operational Battle - 11/11/18

Gents

All preparation is virtually complete (just finishing basing the last few ATG's for the Germans and Russians) and getting the scenery into groups for the aerial photos.

I did ask that someone book the venue for the 11th - I'm assuming that was done!

I will e-mail the briefings and OOB's to both sets of commanders (Ian and Jon for the Germans, everyone else for the Russians) before Thursday - together with photos of each table.

The scenario is Winter - early 1942 where the Germans have fallen back from Moscow but have been told to stand and fight wherever they are.

The retreat has left a lot of equipment lost to the Germans (as well as troops lost mainly to sickness and frostbite) so units are combined to create a force in being to resist the Russian onslaught.

Winter rules are in force (weather effects and variable movement).

One other point - at 11am we will have 1 minutes' silence in honour of the fallen of WW1.
