Proved to give some *really* interesting situations. Just to mention a few examples: prisoners were not prisoners but unarmed commandos that would have to ambush and steal the guns of other units. the MA of any tank or gun(for example 75L)was not the caliber, but the range the gun could fire in hexes. Believe me when I say that those 280mm Nebelwerfers were real killers. Each squad had the number of men depicted on the counter. Made stacking pretty exciting. The typical battle was fought using every avaliable map and every avaliable counter. The target accusition (how DO you spell that word) counters were mines, with each counter representing one mine. Broken = dead, so we would have the battlefield littered with corpses. Damn we had fun in those days. I just wish I had a photo or something of one of our battlefields. Try to imagine one of our infamous river crossings, where each rubber raft carried something like 20 counters (they had something like 40pp, and since each squad only were 2 men... Steve
