It never snows in September.
Reports of large para drops and mass movements on the front line.
The goodies
Not sure if Chris or Mark has the most disturbing smile.
The baddies
Table set up, Colin and the lads have done a great job with it as usual.
30 corp arrives
Ha ha says the Pak 40 platoon
Brit paras can tell how close the tanks are as they kindly light some signal fires.
Around one of the bridges on the route Brit paras dig in.
Some SS and security troops arrive to put pressure on the Brits
The cult of speed and massed R/MG fire from the dug in paras and a waaagh assault later and the Germans found out that it wasn't as easy as shooting civilians.
Axis commander James allowed his brave subordinates duke it out with the FV paras whilst his own forces sat in their woodland picnic park apparently unable to hear the gun fire all around.
Not sure how it ended, please post and let us know, as my poor battered body needed sleep after a night in Sheff and this war correspondent slipped off to make the early papers.
It did look like the Paras were just about to launch an attempt to relieve the battered remnants of the 30 corp tankers. Brit paras are hard to shift from their defences and as Dale had mined the exit from bridge the panzers were in no rush to get close the the Tank Assault 4 devils.
When I left Panthers and Tigers had started to arrive behind the Brits at the bridge and even the boy scout camp in the woods had decided they really should start to roll out especially as the British air support was down to only a few dice now. If I had to place a bet I would say that 30 corp was not going to make it to the bridge and the paras were not going to be left to the mercy of long range shelling but who knows.
During the chaos of war passing U Boat commander quietly sips his brew after returning from a stint at sea.
