You are obviously a gentleman to admit defeat so readily, I think I'd have tried to force an attack on the village hoping that defences would prevail. And thanks for recommending a new beer to me!Chris Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585623032053255569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-22390064034367122832011-11-26T21:09:22.813+00:002011-11-26T21:09:22.813+00:00Excellent write-up, very enjoyable too!!

You could play this scenario another ten times and come up with many different results, unfortunately sometimes the dice gods just go against you, on them days it best to have stayed at home and helped the mrs with the washing!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-61498581270078039102011-11-26T20:28:52.372+00:002011-11-26T20:28:52.372+00:00Great read Steve.

French infantry were in more ranks so on a shorter frontage. It thus follows that there should be an equal proportion of shots falling onto target as the platoon system higher rate of fire. I think if there is any advantage perhaps it should be more of a morale effect then physical, the fact that balls are hitting all the time rather than just when the salvo is fired. <br /><br />All the same thnaks for that and one I'm keen to try.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.com
