The occasion was the Big Boys Toys event which we attended for the first time.

We put on three display games throughout the day. The first was a 54mm refight of the battle of Zama using DBA rules. The SAS operative in the background tried to stay neutral but eventually succumbed and assisted with a Pyrrhic Roman victory as both sides broke in the same turn with the Carthaginians losing more elements.

A highlight of the day was a 1/6th Tiger tank taking on my Challenger 2

The Tiger was no match for the modern day vehicle!!!

Sorry about the low resolution shot but it was the only one I had.

The second game was a refight of a small skirmish in Basra 2003 involving 14 British Challenger tanks and T55’s of the Iraqi army.

The third game was a Viking raid on a Saxon village.
