Thanks, enjoyed.

Very nice.  What rules did you use?

[Old Contemptable]

We use Mr Lincoln's War, a regimental set of rules. On my flicker page go to the Dunker Church album and just below the description there should be a button that says "Show More" that will have all the particulars of the game as well as an AAR. Most of the photos have individual descriptions and comments just below them.

Excellent.

One small question - where does the term "Dunker" originate from?

It was officially home to the local German Reform Church. They believed in total body immersion during baptism. Thus they were known as Dunkers.

Ah.  Man, I haven't used those in years.  Maya have to dig them out for another spin...

Thanks - obvious when you think about it (which I obviously hadn't!).
