Barry, subject to Partizan, I would be potentially interested in this. Do you have a feel for exact dates, initial prices etc?

I assume I can google Lundin Links for location


Thanks

They have even been known to provide some female companionship, albeit slightly ephemeral. :lol:

Toggy,

Guaranteed to be quicker than the "wading through treacle" approach of the last one.

You can put that down to ruddy Churchill and his ruddy cavalry. Anyone who has troops looking that good is sure not to get them messed up so I ended up waiting too long for my own cavalry and nearly spoiled a good game.

Still, the good thing about being young is that I learn quickly from my many mistakes. :P

JUST TRYING TO TIE DATES DOWN NOW. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE OCTOBER DATE WILL BE EITHER 16/17 or 23/24.

There is also a possibility of an 21/22 August date slipping in. I would be interested to find out if anyone would want to do something then
