A concise report but otherwise pretty good. The ANZACs look pretty modern! M. Nisbet knows his stuff about the ANZACs, he has the info on that for you to field in the game 😉
Nice report
Please put photos in as single and use to tell the story
Nice AAR. Keep them coming
ANZACs ANZACs everywhere! A nice AAR!
Congratulations on the victory comrade. Keep driving them.
Nice terrain set up, with something for every vehicle type .
Again good factual AAR and maybe you could ‘link’ the pictures by giving them just a turn number”
@ finally, looks like you ‘optimised ‘a bit to much – AA is a necessity here in Europe
recommended for the effort and the down under support!!!
@ M. Nisbet: I’d be interested in your ANZAC/Australian PDF 🙂 and we’re not asking Commonwealth to turn coats are we?? 😉
Looks like the Krokodile took this one, any reason for your lack of AA?
Joker, did you get my message about the pdf? You seem to be a little confused on your list. The 6pt British Mechanized platoons are the territorial army choices, not the ANZAC brigade. Use the basic mechanized list from Iron Maiden to field your force. Or better, make a profile for the British faction and come talk to us.
