  2. Our main changes were to the orbats and units make-ups. We have basically thrown away using rules and play a very free-form game, added saving rolls for units in cover and those subjected to explosions. Tinkered with command/control and morale.

    My French have fought several small one-off actions, I have a game designed to represent the fighting south of Falaise in Normandy, but as yet we`ve not had the time to run it and I`ve been distracted by the Tunisian campaign :-)
