Solo with Field Of Battle WW2 - Cristot scenario

Decided to give FOB WW2 (or is that 11 ?) an outing for reasons best known to myownweeself.

Used my 15mm kit and a RF Normandy scenario Cristot which is rather small by FOB standards with only 13 units vs 17.

But t'was a fun game nonetheless although the small Morale Pool of both sides was telling and game over in less than 2 hours.

Had forgotten several aspects of FOB WW2 (one of reasons for trying it) particularly the need to spot units (they are on table but need to seen to be engaged) and that units are destroyed after 3 UI losses not 4.

At this scale of game the abstractions probably seemed more prevalent especially the 'lack' of heavy weapons and tactical aspects but the speed of play and lack of clutter still a plus point.

System is of course designed for Divisional sized battles and this is where it shines for me especially with 6mm.
