So as I enjoy a beer tonight and catch up on the rugby, I'll be thinking of F/Sgt Kemp, F/Sgt Mitchell, Sgt Beatty Sgt Hayes and Sgt Yuille who didn't get to go home and raising a glass to their memory. #SecondWorldWar

Whilst out in the hills I also came across the wreckage of an RCAF Wellington bomber and the memorial to the crew who were lost with her. Some of the wreckage was in remarkably good condition and the geodesic structure is instantly recognisable. #SecondWorldWar

Looks brilliant Per - what rules are you using for FPW?

I always find the lack of webbing or bandoliers in this image intriguing.

With the french having successfully routed the Guards from the farmhouse, the battle draws to a close. A fun, finely balanced game that saw both sides gain and suffer. V&F is a fun set of rules, that I'd be keen to play again in the future. Not bad given they're free! #JoyOfSix

The French girl another column across the stream against the Devonshires. They draw the combat, but fail their valour test and rout from the field! #JoyOfSix

The French light cavalry failed to activate, leaving the door open for the British Hussars to twirl their moustaches and charge forward. The french cavalry are forced back across the stream. #JoyOfSix

At the stream, sharp British musketry routs one french column and sees another destroyed in the ongoing melee. Can the doughty Devonshires hold the line against all the odds? #JoyOfSix

The British cavalry deliver the coup de grace, destroying the French Dragoon brigade. It's the last turn and the British are one victory point up! #JoyOfSix

The British Heavy Dragoons resume their attack, but the French are once again able to charge them as they cross the stream. However their horses are winded and two squadrons rout from the British steel! #JoyOfSix

The Guards counter attack, routing a French battalion in the process. But they are both now shaken and more French columns are advancing towards the farm... #JoyOfSix

On the British right, the Guards suffer heavy losses defending the farm, but remain unbowed. The Highlanders on their right pour fire into the French flank guard, before the supporting line battalions charge through!

The British light cavalry advance, as the light brigade form squares to defend against the french cavalry threat. #JoyOfSix

In the centre, the French columns surge across the stream - routing and over extended British battalion. Even worse, the brigade falters next turn so they can't rally! #JoyOfSix

The British light cavalry brigade manoeuvres on the left flank, but the brigade are the crossroads falters at the critical time, leaving the brigade at the stream to face down the French attack columns alone! #JoyOfSix

A savage melee takes place, with both sides suffering. The weight of the French charge is just enough to force the British back across the stream - but they go against type and successfully rally themselves in the following turn. #JoyOfSix

The French Dragoons unleash an audacious surprise move, letting them charge into the British Heavy Cavalry, who had paused at the river to take stock. #JoyOfSix

The french have refused their right flank, concentrating against the farmhouse. The British left flank have secured the crossroads objective, but now must manoeuvre to strike the french flank.

The Guards brigade face down the French, who are coming on in the same old style.

A fun game of Chain of Command, run by the Colonel himself @coljmurray.bsky.social. It had white Russians, Chinese bandits, big choppas. All sorts!

It's a fun game, particularly for a big multiplayer bash, if you ignore the shooting rules.

These look great! (and I've heard excellent things about the book) Are they Brigade Games figures?
