fascinating stuff, thanks for posting.Some years ago a friend introduced me to the basic facts.He wanted to wargame it, but never did. The lack of a proper battle does not prevent wargaming it.I see a few (Trent) French looting a farmhouse, and being surprisedby Militia & locals (also Trent miniatures). have the French drunk toomuch liberated wine? Will their (drunken?) shooting hit a Welsh woman & enrage the locals? Will the Militia forget to tell the French that theyonly have enough powder for three shots? etc. etc.
Saw this game at Penarth a few years back and spent a long long time enjoying what every good war game should offer an absolute feast for the eyes...true class.Roo
have the French drunk too much liberated wine?
Lest anyone make the mistake of sneering at the idea of Welsh wines (other than "England didn't really win, they just scored more points than us on the day!"), may I share the benefits of a salutory lesson I received whilst working in Wales some years ago? I made a joke about something being "as rare as Welsh wine" only to be quietly sat down and given a history lesson about how viniculture (nothing to do with the actor-cum-footballer-cum-thug named Jones) was brought to Wales by the Romans, died out during the Middle Ages, but was resurrected in the 1970s and now has 22 vineyards producing around a quarter of a million bottles a year - some of them rather delicious, I might add!
I gather there are some nice whiskys made in Wales, too.A l'eau, c'est l'heure!
