At yesterday's (Saturday 3rd June 2023) Operation Market Larden Lardy Day, several lucky gamers had a chance to play Phil and Jenny's Race to Brussels 15mm I Ain't Been Shot Mum game. Two days prior Andy and myself had been kindly invited down to Phil and Jenny's to give the scenario a final run through before its public airing in Evesham.
As always the table was an absolute delight to behold.
The scenario is based on the race to liberate Brussels and set on September 2nd as the Guards Division attempts to seize the crossings over the Brussels-Charleroi Canal at Halle, south of the Belgium capital. Their orders were to not get embroiled in fighting in the town but push on rapidly capturing the bridges and get across the canal.
A resounding British (Welsh) victory for Jenny and myself. Andy had been very unlucky in his support option draws (he could have had a King Tiger or a Jadgpanther!) though we made sure we did not get our armour stuck trying to push through the town - as it appeared some players did at Operation Market Larden yesterday... :-)
