I hope you all will enjoy this and if it goes well I will sort this out for other games.
On the forum I will post up the results of the battles as they happen.

Flames of wars points 2000.
Bolt Action points 750.

Lists for your armies will come from the books listed below.

If possible we would like you to have all your army painted as it will be pictures going on website and forum and being sent to Rangers Battlefront.

Flames of war will do the battles between countries and where there is a big country there will be several battles.

Each country will have an objective larger countries will have a couple of objectives which the Bolt Action players will decide the fate of the country.

If the attacking player loses the FOW battle then no attack on objectives.
If the attacking player wins the battle Bolt Action decides the out come of the country.

BOOKS MAYBE CHANGED:

We do understand some of you will not have the army for some of these books some talk to James or myself and we will sort something out for you.

My 8th army are on hand.

What points and what book.

Have we worked out who is on what side yet?

Need to check if I can get up for this one, potential rodent related issues (two have died this week, trying to avoid leaving the third on her own for long).

Guessing books are Burning Empires for the Germans and Hellfire & Back for the Allies - BE has the forces that were actually on Crete listed if we are going accurate.

If going more typically 'Janco' suggest German forces are anything that can fit into a Ju-52 transport (so no tanks) and the Allies are based on the sort of forces that were there drawn from HF&B.

FOW without the master genius that is Dale is not tolerable.
As for rodent populations, recently I killed four mice in the battle of the undersink, I understand they have their own highly effective re-population strategy.

Mice are different, you get somewhat attached to these little furry sods, the way the can destroy an innocent T shirt in minutes, the way no biscuit is ever really safe, the way a half drunk cup of tea "mysteriously" will be found empty...

And if the sole survivor manages any form of repopulation I'm going to make millions selling the story.

Whoa I say, where is Barbarossa?

Doubt I'll be able to make this one, other commitments that weekend, will be up in November sometime though.

Think Barborrosa needs to be in as a game later, lots of scope for mayhem there

I will bring what I have for Sundays game and then see from there
