    Like David Brown’s other two recent re-workings of long-established sets of rules, ‘O’ Group does for WWII what Pickett’s Charge did for ACW and General D’Armée did for Napoleonics. Combat mechanisms are reined in and command mechanisms expanded, giving you a system that stops you being able to do everything you want, forces you to focus your effor...

    On the Allied right A Coy’s advance has stalled. In an effort to get it going again and to deal with the minefield that stretches across a gap in the bocage, the flail troop moves up passed the brewed up Shermans. On the Allied left, the Crocodile crosses the Start Line and moves down Farm Lane On the right the flails come into action. On the right...

As suspected the weight of allied artillery made manoeuvre very difficult for our platoons holding the Vertefeuville Ridge and the preponderance of allied armour forced the German command to commit its tanks just to counter ...
