That was pretty much my thinking too. A great variety of kit and force variety. I also wanted to get away from the bog-standard Fulda Gap encounters, with massed Soviet armour versus superior quality Western formations.
And I have a sentimental attachment to Centurions.
If you ever find the perfect rules for this scale of encounter.. let me know.
Well mine will eventually be the perfect rules, of course...
Oh that's lovely. Love the camo netting on the Cents. Will have a look st the game reports too. I am almost inspired to dig out those PSC T55 I airbrushed ages ago.
Wargames dreams never die, they just get left in a box.

Having worked with a lot of Sikhs, I've got a lot of time for Mr Singh and Mr Singh, and Mr Singh. Lovely looking unit.
Me too. And they're great for an exceptional free curry as long as you help out with the washing-up (I went through officer training with a Sikh lad)!
Incidentally, one of the best and funniest war memoirs I've ever read was that of an officer of Sikh Sappers belonging to 23rd Indian division (foolishly loaned out and never returned). Some epic moments are when he discovers that his Sikh Havildar has been teaching him a 'Ribald, Amritsar Guttersnipe' version of the local lingo and only finds out when his brother officers look at him in horror when he asks the waiter to fetch him something in the Mess, or when he witnesses a Japanese rout and the Colonel of the attached Gurkha battalion is fighting with one of his Gurkhas to 'have a go' on the Bren Gun as the Japanese flee across open ground "Please bugger off, Colonel Sahib!".
