and arriving in the post while I was out

• Blotz
• grain store
• A-frame house

And then there was our game.

Short summary for those who are not familiar with the story (from Wikipedia):

Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Captain John C. "Jack" Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers led by Major Josef "Sepp" Gangl, SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt-Siegfried Schrader, and recently freed French prisoners of war defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived.

So yes, basically, Americans plus a bunch of Wermacht who'd figured out upon which side their bread was buttered, plus some French prisoners (including two former prime ministers, De Gaulle's older sister and a tennis player) held the castle against the SS.

If you tried to present it as a movie script, people would laugh at you.

Figures by various club members, scenery and gatehouse (a Sarissa conversion) largely by Andy Miller and Grahame Middleton. Backdrop by me :D
