Scenario J of Combat Commander: Pacific involves fighting for Saddle Ridge on Guadalcanal.
This game has been a struggle for the Americans right from the start.
There was only a handful of American units left when the game ended.
The Americans have reached their Surrender Point.
Having a desire to have a "big" battle on my little table I have extracted my digit and started basing up my 6mm Seven Years War toys.
I have gone for 48 man infantry units to get a big battalion look.
About half of these soldiers were given to me by Richard Couture of Kronoskraf back in 2017.
I'll get them finished in a couple of days or so and get them on the table for a game using Honours of War rules.
In other news, I have walked my first hundred miles in my Thousand Mile Challenge that I started on the 23rd of August.
I am not using an app 'cause I don't own a phone but I am measuring it with a bit of string on a map. I am an old fashioned beggar for sure.
Tony Kitchen of Tin Soldiering On blog fame inspired me to do this challenge. I find the hills quite tough with my heart being out of rhythm but I am keen to carry on. 101 miles with "boots on" is a canny start for a radgy owld gadgy!.
Just 899 miles to go.
