Game on Friday 12:30

I am going to be in the store at 12:30 for game of BA, anyone that wants to can show up and run some squads/tanks. I want to run my US if I can finish them. My idea is to have a Brit , an American , and several Germans . Putting colored die in for each play to speed up the turn. When your color comes up you can mo e one of your units.

Are you bringing and figures? I will have Americans and Germans to run. I have a M-10 on order that should be int today. I really hope it is so we can run it. What kind of battle are you up for. I really would like to try a 500 point with small 5 man squads. I have an idea of running an escape, put two tables together, run a garrison down the whole table and have a unit trying to breakout and exit the board. I would love to hear your ideas.

Paul
if you are addressing me about Sunday, i dont have any ideas as of yet, because i have yet to play the game. I dont have any figures as of yet, just the M8, which i would be more then happy to bring. i like the idea of smaller units, but i would like to run US as that is the force i am building.

thanks
Derek

Yes I was speaking to Sunday. I will finish my US and you can run them. I think I would like to run a small 4 squad action. 5 men in each squad, your m-8, my Sherman , and two bazooka teams. The objective could be a cross road with some small farm houses, which I will bring. The HIP (Hidden Initial Placement rules are great. I would set up 2 (5 man) squads, a heavy MG, and a Pak 40 in the cross road using HIP. When you move within 12" I lose HIP. The last game was lacking terrian so I will try and put down some forests and hills. I think I can draw up a map that you could use to plan your attack, does that sound cool?
