What to do with the Easter weekend... let's plan a massive battle in CM, of course.
I fought my first battle against Stafford - a small but a rather lengthy one - reported here:

I was impressed how Stafford won by knowing when not to fight... Sun Tzu would approve.
For our second round, Stafford chose a massive 1.8 x 3.8 km CMBN map by Wynntergreen, called Three Towns. This map has seen serious fighting before: https://community.battlefront.com/topic/111574-12000-point-video-aar/
We are setting up a 10,000 point meeting engagement on this map, but unlike Dutch Grenadier vs Strachwitz eight years ago, the setup zones are now on the short edges of the map (East vs West instead of North vs South). I will play as Axis (German Army) against Stafford as Allies (British Army). @Concord kindly agreed to set up the scenario for us.
It is 20th July 1944 in France, 1250 hrs, ideal weather (clear, warm, dry ground, gentle wind from the West). We have 2 hours and 30 minutes to decide the outcome. Rarity is set to standard. The objectives are worth 400 points and enemy casualties are worth 600.
House rules: No TRPs and no pre-planned strikes; max. 30% of points can be spent on vehicles armed with gun caliber over 0.50; and all troops are regular with 0 leadership and 0 motivation modifiers.
