Excellent all round! The battle reports were superb and I particularly enjoyed the game set up notes.... Very helpful indeed! Glad to see the General on campaign again!
Now listen to me you benighted muckers. We're going to teach you soldiering. The world's noblest profession. When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men.

Another grand adventure for the General! Well done sir. You and your games have been an inspiration to me for more years than I even know.

Belisarius, I agree 110%! It’s about the friends you Game with and the camaraderie over shared interests and live of history and toy soldiers. I’ve met some of my best friends through this hobby, some are life long. I’ve gamed with one group for over 40 years!!!!

Cheers,
Sgt G
