Phillip invited me for a game of BKCIV at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Group. His mighty Kampgroup Thomaz vs the 139th Light Heavy Infantry under Lt Col Antrobus. Timeframe: Late 1941. 2000 points each. Only thing not allowed was prepared bombardments. I forgot that bit, and bought one anyway, but did not use it!Phil is a great chap, and has beautiful forces and great terrain, what is not to like? My list, this time, Antrobus has aquired the help of a squadron of Lend Lease tanks, his newly added Valentines, and the three Crusaders that he was used to.

Catagory C Heavy Reconnaisance Company. Main tanks will either be T-34s from my North Korean selection, or the T-55s on order from Pendraken, add another BDRM2 and they become a Cat A or B company. PT-76s, BDRM-2s, and a bunch of Poles who don't want to be there. The whole formation costs less than an Abrahams platoon! And certainly won't last as long! But at least this selection can all swim!
