Winter 2019/20 Battle of Britain - 12th January 2020

@Private-Panic
The Quartermaster better be on their A game :) -
@barnee Do you mean their A&A game?! :game_die:
-
@Private-Panic
I was thinking more of supplies. Beer, Food, Shelter, Beer, oh that’s right, I already said that :) -
@barnee We could do with a beer, beer and more beer-focused quartermaster. Perhaps you would like to volunteer?
-
@Private-Panic heh heh you guys would probably thumb your noses at the American brand i drink.

We had an excellent day with 10 players (after a couple dropped out due to illness) including 3 that are new to the event - Rob, Ste and Simon. Welcome all!
We played 3 games - one each of 1942.2, Anniversary and 1914. Below is a very brief synopsis of each game. Anyone who wishes is invited to add a longer battle report on their game.
1942.2 was unusual in that Germany succeeded with Sealion. Russia put up solid resistance, but Moscow eventually fell to an Axis one two.
Anniversary was also declared an Axis victory, with Italian victories in Egypt and Japan in India. Russia still looked strong, but the UK had no navy left and declining income.
The Central Powers also triumphed in 1914. Russia grabbed a chance against a much smaller German stack early on, but struggled with bad dice in all 3 resulting battles, losing the major part of its forces. As the Entente’s position deteriorated they were forced to take risks, none of which came off.

@Private-Panic three Axis victories: wow!

@barnee I am scared Of heights and the local Home Guard’s defences.
-
@Wittmann
yea be a bummer to get shot down by your own side. maybe you could use a glider ? : ) -
@barnee amd have the 6 Pounder come loose and crash into me, when the pilot hits some big cow pats, not likely!
-
@Wittmann @barnee If Leo overcomes his fear of heights, inability to navigate and blindness I will just have to change the venue without telling him!
-
@Private-Panic
heh heh
how about going Star Trek mode ? Just beam him over : ) -
@barnee I would happily beam him over to you. On a one way ticket!
-
@Private-Panic
He’d be stuck drinking pissy American beer then. Surely he hasn’t done anything to warrant that : ) -
@barnee one day you might be unlucky enough to meet PP and you will understand how hard it is to be nice to him. He is a monster! (Except in his gaming, when he is a lamb.)

This reminds me of an anecdote about Horatio Nelson, who on at least three occasions disobeyed orders from the fleet flagship during battle. At the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, Admiral Sir Hyde Parker sent Nelson a signal to withdraw. Nelson, upon being informed of this by his signals officer, raised his telescope, held it up to his blind eye, pointed it at the flagship and stated that he did not see the signal. As usual, he got away with it. And once Nelson became Commader-in-Chief, the problem of disobeying orders from the Commander-in-Chief solved itself.

@CWO-Marc Very happy to be called Nelson.
And Adam is my Villeneuve.
