Talavera 208 - Game Two
« on: 01 August 2017, 07:33:19 PM »
The second game of Talavera 208 was played this weekend on the two hundredth and eighth anniversary of the battle with a new group of players trying out new ideas.

The game proved a hard fought exciting set too with the the result very much in the balance throughout and culminating in a classic Spanish reposte to end things on.

So well written AAR! I absorbed it, as if it was the narration of the actual battle!
I envy the lucky fellows who were present in your games, for sure they were a grandiose and rare spectacle! A giant project accomplished! My warmest congratulations!

Hi Chaps, thanks very much for the kind comments. It is really great to see how much others like the game and has added hugely to all the fun we had playing it.

Hi Nick thanks mate, much appreciated. I will be throwing open invites to play in October when I am back for holiday so if we have takers for a game you are welcome to come over and play and see the collection in the flesh, so to speak.

Cheers all
JJ
