Nice battle report. I though it had a very Market Garden feel to the game. The Paras held on for ages, despite the fact that their early losses meant that they weren't going to win. All you needed was Anthony Hopkins running around and it would have been perfect 😄
Really enjoyable battle report. Nice to see the Market Garden lists and paras in action. Really liked your table setup too. Shame about the dice rolls though! Just picked up the Market garden supplement so keen to try that out. Worth grabbing a 17pdr and a few 75mm howitzers next time out I reckon. Look forward to the next battle report.
Andrew Greenham Not having those Fire Support rolls break my way was painful. I got the pack howitzers on my shopping list next time I buy models. Hopefully the will treat me a bit better than this lot :) Its a really fun book. We might do a few of the scenarios in there over the next few weeks.
Another good one! I noticed you did a Last Man Standing with the lone pinned para in the wood, who then ran to the hotel. Last Man Standing actually means that lone pinned troops are automatically removed from the table.
I rolled a 6 (Beyond call of duty) on morale after the casualties before I moved him. I'm not sure if you remove the last guy before you roll a morale test or after in that situation.
Michael Burt Im pretty sure its in there in the Arty section. But the paras can't call it off because of one of their special rules. Danger close is risky business.
Its better with individual basing IMO but it can be played with FoW basing. My brit infantry is based for FoW and they work fine when I play Battlegroup. Just mark wounds with mini dice.
+The Acceptable Casualties Yup. Funny thing is there was a couple of times you made some really bold moves late in the game and if the dice rolls have been in your favor you could've really made that came a lot tighter. Those Brits are impressive.
Rune Ghost The tank assault not penetrating the armor was soul crushing. I might have had a chance if that roll went my way. If I didn't take those chances late game I don't think it would have ended much differently lol

Techsaint I just watched that the other day and I had that same feeling of dread for most of the game lol. But those paras are a tough nut to crack!

Yeah, great Report. Thx for the video. ;)
I enjoy making them more than you guys like watching them. So thank you for keeping me motivated :)
Calling off a fire mission after the spotting round is near friendlies, I like this and it seems realistic, but is this in the rules or a house rule?

Thanks, I found it in the fire for effect paragraph. Great videos, thanks for posting.
Are the bases similar to Flames of War?

@@TheAcceptableCasualties do you also use Flames of War figures for battlegroup and vice versa?
@@eintheoverlord4997 if you get magnetic bases and plan ahead ypu can definitely use them both ways.
Vin vin vin!!!!
He's starting the new year off on the right foot.
Great Batrep. Though the Germans gained an early advantage, the Brits fought tooth and nail and made for an interesting game to watch.
Yeah I felt like it was lost pretty early on but the paras stick around and fight till the end. I won't underestimate their staying power ever again.
