After last weekend's 'Arnhem all the way', we wanted something different and not having played 'flank attack' a lot, we decided to set up Flank attack at St-Germain du Pert from 29 Let's Go. An excellent game was had with a ridiculous German victory. @redandloud.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

Yeah, those buildings are massive (you saw them at Partizan) in 28mm.

Jasper Oorthuys @clogfather.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Would be interesting to try the game with a smaller table at 15mm. The scenario was designed to constrain the options for the vehicles, to reflect the German experience.
