I am hoping to do some of those daring deeds from “Commando” comics with my very small team of Commandos today at the “AXELS AND ALES” games day.

I am filling in for S.O.G who could not attend. I needed to use a Western Front allies team of 500pts to fit the scenario(s) we were playing. Now, Commandos at 500pts gets you very little so I am not expecting to replicate the deeds in the above excellent primary source material, but at least I will have fun trying.

Here is my list:

Second Lieutenant

Commando Patrol 1

Commando PIAT Team

Commando Patrol 2

Commando Engineering Patrol

Did you notice that in the Commando Comics Fritz always died with ‘ARGH’ or if it was really nasty ‘ARRGGHHHHH’ but Tojo died with ‘AIEEE’. Of course Allied soldiers died with a stiff upper lip and only slightly homosexual overtones.

Let’s hope that later today it is a case of “Eat lead Fritz!”
