Take the bridge, Shako to Coal Scuttle.

  I'm up for a Nordic Weasel game, love the use of 6 and 1.  

The scenario is take the bridge.  Well I needed to build the bridge and some 2mm scale towns first!

Neu Schwanz, being erected.

And the fast flowing River Meise as 3rd battalion come onto the table.

And after I've painted it 24 hours later

Neu Schwanz, and I need to draw the windows in as well as colour the roofing tiles.  Near the bridge we can see the village of Gröpe, and my first attempt at the Gröpe Bridge.

Red come on with battalions in depth


Blue have garrison the (now painted) towns but no sign of their main forces.

Red advsnce.

Blue are revealed in firing lines.

A close view of my "Blue" forces, essentially early WW1 French.

Red assault the town, some disorder and losses.

More Blue appear screening the bridge.

Red are thrown back.

Blue hold the field and bridge at the end of them six
