What's this blog all about?

"Board games? You play board games?" I hear you say... yes, but not unlike any board games you've probably ever heard of. Monopoly? Cluedo? Guess Who? Battleships? No, not by a long shot. One day someone introduced me to a great little game called "Carcassonne" - named after a French medieval town of rambling streets, walls and sections - where the aim is to score the most points using little random squares of road, walls and cities.
I was hooked and so began my, then our - the Bradshaw Tribe, adventure into Euro- and Ameritrash- gaming...

Vive la France???

So this was it, another chance at a come back against Roshni and her German army in Memoir 44. She specifically asked for the Germans, and so she is now going to be Axis from now onwards.

This time was the turn of the Resistance against the Germans a few days after D-Day (And look how that turned out in my previous Memoir post!!) - the basic premise of the engagement being to repulse a German surge through the Bocage, taking on infantry and tanks using little more than 3 man groups scattered through the countryside. History said the French forced the Germans back to their starting positions at the end of the day, from the look in Roshnis eye, I could see this was going to be a whitewash!

Mid way through the game, German tanks push through the trees on the French left flank whilst a battered German left flank tries for a comeback in this Allied aerial reconnaissance photo.

A German counterattack by combined infantry and tanks wipe out a brave French unit (you can't see them because they were all taken out with one dice roll!!)
Vive la France!!!! French Resistance fighters make one final desperate charge from the trees!

Zut alors!! Crushing defeat on the French by the Germans! Another win to Roshni!!
