Great game so far (working through it during my lunch breaks).
A couple of rule queries:
for your mortars. if you don't like where the spotter round lands you can cancel it and not fire the mortars. another spotter can always try to fire another spotter round in that case.
When you roll for reserves they are placed on the table touching the edge. You don't expend an order to bring them on the table.
Loving the report. Glad you are still doing them :)

Good spot on the mortars...I'm used to playing "rounds on the way" special rule"

Awesome video! How big is the table and also are you using 20mm terrain?
I’m wondering as I’m really wanting to get into 20mm wargaming but still unsure if it’s the right choice as the tanks look like they don’t have a lot of manoeuvrability on the board.

We were playing 4ft x 6ft on this one. Really needed to open up the table a bit more for the scenario to play better (according to Mike…maybe sore loser!)
Our next game we will be trying some new camera rigs which might allow us to open the table up a bit more

Abrams road in the "Thunderbolt IIV" a m4a3e8 76mm with a field modification of some extra armour welded to the hull and turret

Warlord games makes a nice Thunderbolt IIV model for flames of war

Epic game, when's the next one gents?

[@BAGam]

We are working on 20mm ww2 French. ‘Cause I’m a sucker for early war! Maybe in the next few weeks

In the USA we say: "Bee-A-Arr" for the Browning Automatic Rifle (B.A.R.) and not bar, as in a bar of soap.

Yes but we are Aussies so are lazy. We can save 2 syllables!
