The Set Up
Still WIP and …… I know there is not a Martello tower up north but I am no longer calling this Bridlington it is simply my ‘British Seaside Town’. Still lots to do and buildings to add in the background and then more details.
Yes. That is the Iranian Embassy minus a floor . It was always intended to double up as a seaside hotel.
Day One
Terrific first day at 1st Corps HQ:
The Germans managed to establish a foothold in Bridlington although suffering heavy casualties. Tomorrow is the British counter attack.
Great fun!
Day Two
Second day at 1st Corps HQ , Snaith:
The British put in a counter attack to drive the invaders back and recapture the harbour area to prevent second and subsequent German assault wave landings. .
A very even fight took place over nine turns but eventually the Brits pushed the Krauts back into the sea to secure a firm hold on the main and dominating feature of the hotel.
A terrific weekend was had. We sorted out lots of points concerning the forthcoming games weekend at South Yorkshire Air Museum the last weekend in November.
