Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Gaming . Normandy 44 .The bridge at La Chapelle part 1

 We played the opening 4 moves of our zoom game tonight. Opening bombardment plastering the far side of the river doing some damage to the defending units .




The US decided to send one company forward - its being picked off by the German battery


The German OP in the church is coming under some artillery fire at last - but its still surviving.


HMG team that survived the bombardment - unleash a hail of fire at the platoons trying to ford the river..

American artillery and mortars continue to land in village , ,the units are dug in deep though.


the German arilttery arrives again.,catching 3rd platoon struggling through deep water ... it looks like Fox company is going to need some help...
 


and a picture of the mobile camera with a power bank connected as zoom seems to eat the iPad battery

      Thanks Ray .. indeed it’s a tough one the US outnumber the Germans 3-1 but it’s a tough position to crack I reckon

    Good stuff Dave table looks fantastic and a really tribute to your terrain building collection ! Zoom indeed eats electricity I leave my system plugged in and fixed rather than moving it about 👍
