This is the board set up.
And I did a little video so you can see things closer, including some of the amazing miniatures representing the characters in the show.
Not to mention the local cricket team, boy scout troop.
Various other locals, and some not so local! 😮
The church, complete with stained glass windows and flickering candle light inside.
Beautiful Weston!
I won't go into detail but it was table quarters, with points for being in your opponents and the neutral ones.
Our air cover did really will, putting loads of pin markers on the invading force and killing a fair few.
But in response this German tank pivoted and drove over the Walmington on Sea first eleven!
It carried on it's horrific rampage through Marge Alssop's front garden, crushing the crew and weapons of two light Howitzers!
The horrors further compounded by the local villagers being burnt to a crisp in the graveyard of the local church - it's Holy Ground
Meanwhile, our spotters in the church discovered Sister Mary Francis was in fact a German spy.
A vicious gun fight ensued but he/she evaded fire. Then spotting the local scout troop through the window they shot them point blank and killed the lot of them.
The Home Guard finally got onto the battlefield.
Private Pike was a beast with the light machine gun. And the medic managed to save 2 out of 3 lives [on 6's]
Chief Warden Hodges led the defence of our quarter.
I think this is a Humber, and it sped on shooting the tank in its rear armour.
Blowing it up. "Howzat! For the first-eleven."
The dastardly nun eventually met their demise.
We had so much fun playing this. It's been a passion project for Ben months. He was talking about last year I think and he spent so much time getting the terrain painted and all the locals.
I can't believe how lucky I am to get to spend time with these guys, throw dice, drink tea [and amazing flapjack's courtesy of Ben's wife].
Thursday's are the best!
