STILL BATTLING AROUND KURSK...

The shop’s summer Combat Cards campaign is still going strong. Every week has been a blast, with close games, friendly smack-talk and partisan cheering! After this last week though, the Russians are in a tough spot so they will really have to pick it up a notch over the last two-weeks of the campaign.

In addition, things are starting to ramp up for the fall campaign – a facet of Operation Market Garden. South of Nijmegen and north of Eindhoven, the US 101^st Airborne, along with armored units from the British XXX Corps, fought to keep ‘Hell’s Highway’ – the one road link to the British 1^st Airborne at Arhnem – open against vicious German counterattacks. It should prove to be a lot of fun as the Allied players will get to select from both American and British units, and the German players get to chose from all of the usual ‘toys’ (even Flak 88’s and Tiger II’s!). The force selection lists should be posted on the Combat Cards website soon (www.CombatCards.info). If think you might be interested in playing in the fall campaign, stop by and let the shop know – space will be limited.

Anyhow, enjoy some of the pictures from recent campaign games – the armies and battlefields look great!

Until next time…

Keep your head down!
