And so...after a very long hiatus, we finally got round to doing the second battle in this series.  This time we're beyond what the book talks about, since Dorking was the one and only decisive battle.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.  It is by the juice of Typhoo the thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains serve as a warning.  It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

As I tend to favor my British side,  :'( , but as I'm also half German,  :D

Excellent reportage!

Do consider sharing your adaptation of HOTT.

The latest installment was played tonight, this time the Battle at Crawley, a British counter attack into the Prussian lines of advance.
