I've posted in the 19th Century Archive - Warchest two issues of the occasional newsletter created by my very oldest and dearest wargaming chums Alasdair Jamison & David Shuttleworth. These are little comic gems and just make me wish I lived back down in Manchester and could game with them every wee...
Tried out an American Sherman company against a late war German force this evening and found out exactly why Michael Wittman became a Panzer Ace! My Yanks were bold, decisive, yet measured.. we chewed up the Kraut infantry and spat them out, they were cowering under the rocks under the rocks! Enter ...
