 Its alright for you we are the rear-guard  

Many years a go when I used to do demo games one that I and a few club members put on at Basingstoke wargames show(1980s) was the retreat to Dunkirk now just wanted to finish it off.

Had I had my old wargames table that may taken a few days to set up but not to day just left off the Germans and French. Ok its not a game but the  ships/boats used are 1/600 scale and figures 20mm.

 

 

Get your men down to the beach lads well done

Not long now we will give them a mad minute

Only 5 rounds left Sgt for the gun. That's 5 jerry tanks for us if you hit them Right lad. We should live so long.

Got one just stuck his head up to much thats 17 .That can not be 17 . Yes Sgt 16 from the last war that makes 17 and counting .
