We have been playing alot of the excellent Battlegroup rules. This was an encounter battle, 500 point battlegroups for each player and four players, two German v an american Armoured platoon and my British infantry company with a section of carriers and two 6pdrs. Most of these pictures are from the victorious allies positions

The previous Outlaw reviews of Battlegroup Rules were
" Read the examples in the rules before playing"
"Punishes poor play"
"Game improves as you get a grip on the rules"
"Overlord book too big with too much in it"
