"Johnny Boer is sitting uncommon tight, if they are." replied Colville, noting the rocky outcrops on the slopes of Mount Blanc. "No... I doubt if there's a Burgher within a hundred... Good God!" The shots of 4000 mausers rang out, sending the two British Generals sprawling.

10.
GAME:  Pursuit to Merxem
GENRE:  WWII Land Combat
HOST:  Roy K.
SCALE:  15mm
RULES:  Battlegroup by Ironfist Publishing/PSC
PLAYERS:  2-4
SCENARIO:
Belgium, October 1944. Elements of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division encounter the rearguard of the German 711th Infantry Division as it retreats towards the prepared defense line on the Albert Canal. The Battlegroup rules encourages a more considered style of play compared to other WWII rules, with a strong emphasis on suppressing and outmaneuvering opponents rather than blowing stuff up. Since I'm still fairly new to these rules this is going to be very much a 'learning' game for all concerned. You'll to need to be able to bear with me if we need to look stuff up or things don't end up getting done the right way the first time.
