Operation: El Guettar: Commission Mission.

   It has been a bit since the last post and a rocky last two months. A couple of things have happened to make things tough. One, my father had pasted away. It seems to be still an ongoing affair to settle his final wishes, since his funeral was interrupted by Hurricane Irma running over the area to not be able to get his ashes for my brother and I to take out to sea, which will be in November. So that was three trips to Florida in a two month span. Second, has been getting a new job that I like, but instantly took up more time than expected. Now, the hours are down to full-fill my project quests. And Third was the new shipping person for the company I buy fur from for my commission work that felt like pulling teeth. The pain of this was so great that, my new project for Waterloo, I got the fur I needed in record time! Thank God for that!
     Life can be interesting in that sense of chaos. However, with the Project of El Guettar, I figured I would just get this out the door, since it has to be to the client no later than Oct. 18th. This was a timeline that was not bad, though, it halfway interrupted another project. Now, that I am back on track, I am planning on "Movin' a Groovin'" as my 4th Grade teacher, Mrs. Krasner used to say!

    Anyway, the rundown on this project was for a WWII game for the Battle of El Guettar in Feb. of 1943. I instantly thought of the Patton quote from the movie: "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!" I still think that the guy should name his convention game this. It is just a thought. Below was some images I based this one and the map I had to work with.

    I believe that this game is still going to use Bolt Action rules. Despite it being a short distance to cross, I am sure there are going to be mine fields. Plus, the  board is 6' x 12' in size. I would like to think I got it down for a board. It just needed some more details before it is sent out. Here was what it looked like at the time.

        Next project I will try to showcase will be Jay's Aspern-Essling Project.
