The Christmas Offensive: Official Teaser

 

Distinctive Unit Insignia of What Unit???

Every year I like to play a big(ish) game around Christmas.  I won't dare call it a "megagame" this year after last year's debacle of playing a Commands & Colors Tricorne game of Germantown for our winter mega game.  (in my defense there were hundreds of beautifully painted minis on the table and custom built terrain - I'll let you be the judge).  I've put on some truly epic MEGA GAMES for the yearly Christmas Offensive in years past, including an epic Arab Israeli Sinai tank battle, the 57th Tank Brigade Counter Attack at Ponyri Station, Aspern-Essling, and more.  Here is a link to some of our past epic battles fought around Christmas...

So back to my normal tradition of "The Christmas Offensive" where I play or host a game on or around Christmas Day.

While I wont spoil the surprise, the history buffs among you will likely catch on quickly as to what, when, and where this battle will take place...

I am off work and busily building terrain for this desperate clash!  Now, if the distinctive unit insignia, or the patches on the arms of those GIs doens't give it away, hopefully this should:

Stay tuned!  More teasers and maybe even some shots of play-testing coming up soon.  Hopefully the players aren't reading!  So grab some bandoliers of ammo, rations for a few extra days, and your wool overcoat and blanket.  You're gonna need it, Soldier!
