The game didn't go quite as the Germans anticipated last night  :-[...those BEF swindhunds bowled underarm and slunk off to the south through the woods...I'll put up a proper AAR report when I get time.

Got the ball wide old chap, to use a rugger analogy for a change.  ;) :) :D

Didnt realise Trevor Chappell was in the BEF
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Paul's been watching too many MSH games where Rhys always makes use of any cover to stop his Soviets taking fire from NATO ATGW's and super tanks.

We should have put a couple of Uhlan squadrons in the woods at least, but ain't hindsight wonderful  =)

Maybe Basil Fawlty was right - don't mention the war!

Thanks in advance for the Nery stuff Fenton.

Or carefully hiding positioning the mighty Belgian armour  ;D

Even one squadron of Uhlans would have bought you some time to redeploy the rest of the regiment  ;)

I should like to point out that the Kaiser described the BEF as "contemptibly small". Even Willy wasn't daft enough to think they were bad soldiers.  :P
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Given their performance in our game on Saturday they were definitely not "bad soldiers", as I'm sure Peter will agree  ;) ;D
