"So Carnehan weeds out the pick of his men, and sets the two of the Army to show them drill and at the end of two weeks the men can manoeuvre about as well as Volunteers. So he marches with the Chief to a great big plain on the top of a mountain, and the Chiefs men rushes into a village and takes it; we three Martinis firing into the brown of the enemy".
The Bots have buggered off and my page view counts are back to normal - how will I survive the lack of attention? 😏

...and while we're on the subject of anniversaries... it was the anniversary of the Battle of Edgehill this week as well (Thursday), and we all know where that ended up [clicky]
..those little men are long over due a re-visit to the table top!

Laters, as the young people are want to say...
Yes, it's a mixed blessing losing the bots, isn't it? There's something rather appealing about seeing the view counts soar into the thousands! And Nelson - yes, what a contradictory and complex character he was! The Victorians really struggled to make him into a simple hero of the Empire... All those attempts to explain away the "Kiss Me Hardy" incident, for instance. Hope you manage an ECW battle. Look forward to your report. :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers David... place your money on when the bots will be back - those data lakes are unfillable so sure as eggs are eggs they'll be back .. :o))
DeleteAlways nice to see one of your pictures of a 'proper' wargame - looks good but also achievable/playable.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jim - I need to get them out on the table.. and soon...
