Enjoy!

In the ultimate, victory through excess was cheaper than defeat without waste. |

Thanks for the report, enjoyed reading it. Loved the little conversational interlude
And also great table - massively inspirational as I'm just putting together the bits and pieces for my own right now!

Your welcome "Pacific". I didn't build that table, it was provided by the tourney organizers at the Delaware Ice House (that's in America).
I have a number of misadventures of Monty's Pythons posted on that blog if you want to read them. Just use the navigation bar on the right side. I tend to put "Monty's Pythons" in the titles
In fairness to my opponent, while doing the writeup, I realized I couldn't have popped my tank destroyers where I did. Too close to the Tiger. But with 4 6's in the die rolls, the Tiger still would have taken 5 hits, just 4 of them would have been against front armor, a 9 vs 8.

I love it when a battle report adds a sort of narrative to it. Thanks for posting this!
I don't even know the rules for Flames of War and it was still fun to read!
*reads PHGamer's next post*
There are MORE Monty Pyton battle reports on that blog?!

Your welcome. I was surprised I had that many written about Monty's Python's My other FOW companies don't have nearly the personality, though I am trying. But with Monty's Pythons, there is so much material to quote out of context that just works.
