As we sit and wait for the 2016 Xmas Special, much delayed by the slings and arrows that outrageous fortune insists on hurling in Rich's direction, Mike Whitaker provides a timely reminder of how useful the specials are a source of inspiration with a rather nice little battle report taken from Nick Skinner's Vacqueville '44 scenario from the Summer 2014 edition.

For those who haven't dipped their toes in any of the specials, I would highly recommend that you do: vast, very inexpensive, collections of ideas for all the TFL games that would easily translate to other systems. An index of all articles that have ever appeared in a special can be found by clicking here. You can buy any or all of the specials from here.
