Summary

 

 

Yep another good, fun game.Although I was lucky on some of the engagements, winning by a pip. So if they had gone the other way, then I image it would have been a different result. I was tempted to take on 4 four formation with the air assault in turn one, but thought if it didn't work I would have been down on activates and so took a safer option..Oh well maybe next time..

 

 

Anyway have another game lined up with Mathew on Sunday night…
