    Having found out that the local pub only stocks Cinzano, the boys go off in search of some Biere de Garde.

    If you are trying to get me to say the phrase 'Grammar Nazi', I'm not going to say 'Grammer Nazi' because I care about the millions of people murdered by the Nazis and would never use the word Nazi so flippantly as to use it with the word grammar. Soup Nazi, on the other hand, is a perfectly good use of the word.  

    Oh dear, you really are an idiot. There was nothing wrong with your spelling. Time to hit the Iggy button.

  3. Elizabeth raises her eyes from her fermenting vat of Whitehall Palace Willie Warmer and looks across the room, then groans, "I do wish Noddle Head would buy a new map, I'm sick of bloody Nasbie".    Although personally I think she is just venting her spleen after finding out that her home village of Mindboggleton Parva has been incorporated into Mindboggleton Magna  Parish Council

    uploaded this quick 30 minute CMFB scenario.

    Axis versus Allies, but maybe playable H2H.

    Medium map but small number of fighting forces north east of Trois Ponts. 

    This is the 16th of 35 scenarios built for soon to be completed Rollbahn D campaign trilogy. It is set on the afternoon 20th Dec 44.

    This was a fun little battle on a great looking map. And I am looking forward to getting back onto Rollbahn again soon.

  5. My first impression is that there are too many zig-zags for the map to look realistic, and enjoyable to fight on. Of course a lot of the problem lies with BFC themselves, rather than scenario designers. A decent road layout tool should have come with Engine 2 many years ago. Although even with the tools available you could improve a bit.

    And having walked through this part of western Flanders in my teens, I think that the map could do with more trees, bushes, shrubs etc both lining the roads and field boundaries.

    Of course my walk to Dunkirk didn't involve getting bombed by Stukas unlike Paddy's, but that is another story.

  6. Elizabeth lifts her eyes from her Whitehall Gazette and shouts, "Oi, Noddle Head, tell this bloke if he can't be arsed to write "can't be arsed" properly we can always send Mrs Axeman's husband around to help him out.

    Noddle Head puts down his quart of Elizabeth's Whitehall Headsplitter Entire Butt and mumbles "I suppose you'll be wanting me to tell him that he got Bergues wrong as well?"
