Recent games

My regular wargame opponents are my sons - Alex (14) and Chris (10), as I said earlier we play using my version of Charles Grant`s "Battle" rules where a rifle company is roughly 34 figures (3 x 10 men platoons + a small HQ).

I have a fondness for obscure periods and unfashionable armies, so for our most recent games I`ve been looking at Operation Torch the allied invasion of Vichy North Africa, which whilst over quite quickly pitted interesting French colonial units against green inexperianced US formations.
