The good news is that your dice rolls should be better next time (law of averages and so on...)!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782851510729270227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-42933622709611329922012-04-24T18:20:42.490+10:002012-04-24T18:20:42.490+10:00Apologies for the mis-identification; I was sure t...Apologies for the mis-identification; I was sure that I recognised that reloading fiure, but obviously not!<br /><br />Always better to play French :-)James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-64387089745391667922012-04-24T16:14:57.098+10:002012-04-24T16:14:57.098+10:00Thanks James.

I have Portuguese as well by that manufacturer.<br /><br />The problem with playing British in our rules is that they are a bit brittle and I still haven't found the right combination of offensive/defensive play. I'm more comfortable playing French in their larger columns of attack.Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-9240714242928855592012-04-24T12:36:19.564+10:002012-04-24T12:36:19.564+10:00Enjoyable report Ben with some great accompanying ...Enjoyable report Ben with some great accompanying photos. You did well to fit in the game and the photos on a club night, but we all appreciate your effort. I especially liked seeing the 1/72nds mixing it with the Minifigs 25 mm—and probably improving the aesthetic. Particularly liked to see some Airfix Highlanders, a beaut set. (BTW, what does one do with excess highlanders when there are already sufficient to represent every kilted unit... Valencia infantry, Greek infantry?!)<br />It seems that you may have suffered from being 'passive-agressive'. Next time you'll have to go in hard. Remember the old wargamers maxim(?): "you gotta break an egg to make an omelette!<br />JamesJames Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-85132960697438102012-04-24T09:22:20.196+10:002012-04-24T09:22:20.196+10:00It was completely like "...and here's one...It was completely like "...and here's one I prepared earlier!" :)Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-55191021630916220872012-04-24T08:28:16.121+10:002012-04-24T08:28:16.121+10:00Looks like a lot of fun.

We are up to v.8 at the moment, which still needs a little tweaking before it's ready to be used in anger!Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-50357803620041910482012-04-23T06:57:23.134+10:002012-04-23T06:57:23.134+10:00An excellent report, of what looked like a top gam...An excellent report, of what looked like a top game.
