I think they may be 4Ground- they certainly look great.<br /><br />I thought that a lot of thought went into the tables and they were amongst the best I've seen at Conquest so far- great job done by all those that provided them.

Those laser-cut buildings look the business don't they? I've not seen them before.<br /><br />Congrats on your Comp win - by the sound of the games, thoroughly earned! <br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-48188658306269522952013-10-28T13:09:08.034+13:002013-10-28T13:09:08.034+13:00The Normandy Breakout battles eg Cobra/Bluecoat th...The Normandy Breakout battles eg Cobra/Bluecoat through to the closing of the Falaise Pocket.

The only ting preventing me saying perfect is the lack of pumas :)<br /><br />He got "a tad" rash in game 2 vs Bob's paras- driving 5 panzer IVs on turn 1 into a building full of British paras- not a good outcome. He then repeated with stugs into a wood and bogged a couple! A very short game :) <br /><br />I liked John's list but being trained was a bit of a liability (but was nice to be able to hit Germans for a change) I think I'd try to make a similar thing but as a CV version.<br /><br /><br />For my list was a bit disappointed with my Zis 2s, a tad vulnerable to artillery fire when being pushed forward :( <br /><br />Lots of interest in Day of Days- 26 pencilled in so far :)<br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592543210821530318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-55969816382092445012013-10-28T08:36:25.052+13:002013-10-28T08:36:25.052+13:00Well done Craig.

The organiser has a fantastic terrain collection and LOTs of buildings from various manufacturers that were on many of the tables and really lifted them to a new level.
