Of course if I'd inflicted more shock on the enemy then there's the rather unpleasant prospect that they won't scatter but be run down by the tanks instead.

Is there any chance you could flick me a copy of the PPTs you have used? (This can be via Messenger or via email or TFL Forum) I can then share with you the additional terrain types I add for CANCON. If that is too hard, that is fine. The lead is appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086412380509557296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-87562306965630826802019-01-08T09:25:41.160+11:002019-01-08T09:25:41.160+11:00Hi Steve, I create the maps using PowerPoint based...Hi Steve, I create the maps using PowerPoint based on an article in one of the TFL Specials where Rich tells Sidney Roundwood how he does this in one of the Roundwood Report articles.
