Sat 27 is better, but sun 28th is best. Buzz |

Thou art one busy little grognard. Yeah, Thursday's are out for me really (and Cat, cos he's in the game aswell); unless in case of cancellation but they tend to be short notice. Friday 26th @ ~17:30 I could make. Usually in a pub (Vaults or Crite) by that point! Dunno about Cat or Tim though. (I've cross-posted, if they respond I'll post back here or direct.) |

Strangely enough Cat has designs on exactly the same theatre! We've had preliminary discussions re this on the mute.

North Africa, mainly 1942-43 but can do earlier, I just neet to know what you can field... (Buzz, read your PMs!) I have some vague ideas about games but want time to plan (something I don't have much of) Tim, if you want to build more forts, go for it. |

| What areas/ periods are we looking at doing?
I remember agreeing to operation Torch (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia / 1st Army) 8th November 1942. But do we also do the western desert? (Libya, Egypt/ 8th Army) And finally, what extra/ optional rules are we using? Buzz. Also willing to do crossfire. |

| Sounds ideal, Tim. Top stuff!
Couple of months?! I'll need a WW2 fix long before then. *rattle* Well, I'm gonna get some terrain done and paint up the boards well before then for some experimental one-offs. (Also to try and rekindle some interest in Crossfire - the initiative one.) |

4!  How many of these forts are there in North Africa...
No problems, 4 it is. They may be very similar, or possibly identical.
Planning on using a 3 x 3 base, similar to the BUA templates, and probably building up around the edges. I'll do one and we can size it up, to make sure. Cheers, Tim |

French foreign legion style then! Ok, two questions: a) When are these going to be needed by? b) How many are we likely to need? Cheers, Tim |

| Tim:
Go for it! I've got enough other stuff to make up. Fort Capuzzo after the Desert Rats had their way with it in '41: 
Rob: Excellent. You can bring it with you when you turn up for a battle then, eh. Actually, I'm not sure when that will be but the sooner the better IMO.
Cat-smoke (<-- now there's an unusual mental image): That makes sense I suppose. Like it. I've got a bunch of felt so I can make a start with basic 2D features (Dunes and Trails to begin with). |

Was just a sugestion. Forts work similar to BUAs but give better protection (+2 def) and are harder to to attack. Will only need 2 or three at most anyway...
In certain senarios (as per the book), any vehicle moving over combat speed create a dust cloud (1 1/4 x 3 3/4) behind it. This can be spotted at 21" and I think can block LOS (need to check that). |

I might be able to make forts, I have some random small bits of wood that could be bodged into a fort...
If someone lets me know what sort of configuration to bodge them into i.e. do we want subsections on it, or is it a fort that the French Foreign Legioen would be proud of? Posting images might help. Or IKP can do it, if he wants. Re: Wool Noooooooo, more velcro terrain 
Cheers, Tim |

Yeah, I was going to make up some 'wiggly' trail sections - much like our current river sections - to represent these.
That's a fort. (Sorry, I'll get my coat.) I could get some of those made up in wood without too much hassle. *thinks...*
How would these work then? Random movement / manifestation? |
