Crikey, that was epic. Seems like it's Sword and the Flame month around here. Love those shots of the Highlanders in action on the heights. Look just like a Melton Prior drawing for the Illustrated London News.

Yikes -- Melton Prior AND Donald Featherstone?!?!

You guys are far too kind, but I must admit your comments bring a smile to my humble face.

To Plynkes and Captain Blood, and twrchtrwyth and Keith and Smokey and everyone else, thanks very much!

I'm hoping that before this Summer ends, I'll get in at least one more game on that same terrain layout.  If I do, I will certainly post it here.

Madguru, thanks for thinking of me.  You are right, we should get together face to face, preferably with a wargaming table in between.

Ethan, beautiful table and figs, inspirational!!!
Great AAR as well. It definitely sounds like you and Skyler had an awesome time my friend.

I'm very proud of Skyler for not torching the village. I'm not sure what Sgt Guinness may have done that day…..

PS: Whomever painted your Sgt 3 set did an awesome job!

Hey, Jeff, many thanks for your kind words, my friend!

I was proud of Skylar too... but to be honest, for better or worse, I don't know if I'd have done the same thing either!

The "Tres Sargentos" were painted by Igor Olshansky, aka: Igwarg -- and I most definitely agree he did an awesome job!
