Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this battle as usual!
I'm going to be running through a single corps per side first game on Friday under your rules, so I hope you will be able to read the write up and assist with any rule clarifications should they arise? I'm confident that I have a good understanding having followed through so many of your battles so I should be OK. The blogs at:

Hi Lee
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that you also did a blog. I have had a quick look and added it to my favourites list to go through the posts later on.
I hope that the game goes ok, and that you find the rules to your liking.
I will check out your blog to keep up with the game.
We visit my son and his family each Christmas. He lives in Rothbury, which is 20 miles north of Newcastle. Last year the snow started in mid December, and our return flight from Newcastle was cancelled. This year they tell me it is even worse!

Paul
