Finally, with great losses, the British put a firm foot on the Schellenberg heights...

The game is decided: Schellenberg has fallen.
But Miltiades insisted that we play one more turn.

Wow!Great AAR!
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

The Little Warriors look SPLENDID. Arrayed in their serried ranks, they are a stirring sight indeed. An EXCELLENT battle report AND WONDERFUL photos; VERY WELL DONE!
