Lovely looking toys and a magnificent battle report. The machine gun wielding jagers were not a very polite thing for your opponents to support though! My sincerest commiseration regarding the Grenadiers-a-cheval. One has to expect that from a shiny new unit though...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-25301069402346944392021-07-26T11:41:00.328+01:002021-07-26T11:41:00.328+01:00Thanks Lee!Thanks Lee!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-88711703089628175412021-07-26T09:55:59.828+01:002021-07-26T09:55:59.828+01:00Always a pleasure seeing your lovely shiny vintage...Always a pleasure seeing your lovely shiny vintage soldiers on the table Ian.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-911126632876840032021-07-25T20:20:28.197+01:002021-07-25T20:20:28.197+01:00Thanks Aly, the game really was a lot of fun and c...Thanks Aly, the game really was a lot of fun and couldn't have gone any better unless of course I had won!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-6307637634513104242021-07-25T20:00:23.126+01:002021-07-25T20:00:23.126+01:00A great looking and sounding game Ian…

I must say that, for someone who is not used to being able to move the entire army at once, the written orders were useful in a way I hadn't expected, since when I started moving the troops I was often surprised to read what I had wanted them to do just a few minutes earlier!<br /><br />I suspect that my ancient memories of OS games are of players gradually deciding what they were going to do as they worked their way through the units on each turn. Having to write everything down in advance makes some subtle changes to the game. I liked it.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-88368592857177119272021-07-24T22:35:44.836+01:002021-07-24T22:35:44.836+01:00Nice account - love the windmill on the high groun...Nice account - love the windmill on the high ground.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-20285560346656651062021-07-24T21:21:06.636+01:002021-07-24T21:21:06.636+01:00Looks like you had a lot of fun.
