Several years ago I picked up a batch of 20mm Dutch soldiers for gaming Dordrecht in 1940. \u00a0I began work on a Dordrecht scenario book for Skirmish Campaigns many years back, but the effort got shelved in favor of other projects. \u00a0When I was still pushing Beer and Pretzels Skirmish (BAPS), some gamers in the Netherlands wanted to translate the chart card into Dutch. \u00a0In those days moving money internationally was painful and expensive. \u00a0I authorized them to do the translation and sell\/give it away in exchange for a copy of the chart in Dutch. \u00a0I also asked if they had some maps of Dordrecht they can share. \u00a0I have great maps of the city now, and wrote the first four scenarios before putting that project on hiatus.<\/p>\n

I am getting ready to resume the project. \u00a0I had these 50 Dutch filed, based, and primed for six years or so in my “project box.” \u00a0Last weekend in preparation for resuming the Dordrecht scenarios — this time for Combat Patrol — I pulled them out of the project box and began painting them. \u00a0I finished them yesterday, and now they are ready to fight off Nazi Fallschirmjaegers.<\/p>\n
