Could someone ask The Duke of Wellington pls :wink: Hi Barry, I mentioned it to Colin yesterday during a refight of the battle of Koniggratz where the Prussians had another successful day although the Austrians did much better than in real life, although that wouldn't be too hard to achieve. He's q...

Hi Barry, loved the latest pic, like a painting just the sort of evidence we need for Uxbridge to explain how his dragoons could counter charge with the squares in front of him :wink: The poor man was probably traumatised with the loss of so many of his senior commanders that he didn't realise what ...

Have I missed something? :shock: When and why has this happened and has something else been arranged in its place? :? Has Von Blucher felt the need to visit a real Samurai castle to get the correct feel for the model? :wink: At least it gives me even longer to try and paint up some figures. Cheers ...

Timur The game has been 'put back' to be our June 2008 game, so the rules have been 'frozen' at the moment. Details when they are 'thawed out' approx January/February 2008. Have I missed something? :shock: When and why has this happened and has something else been arranged in its place? :? Has Von ...

Given the size of the venue , places may be at a premium so I would appreciate everyone's full commitment to letting me know whether they plan on attending or not. Peter Hi Peter, just to confirm that myself, Colin and Angus will be attending. We mentioned the invitation to Angus last night at the ...

Barry, with all the spectacle and fun of the game I forgot to congratulate you on your rules. For such a massive game it seemed to run very smoothly and the times we did get you across to clarify things was really to keep the speed of the game going, we could have worked out the results for ourselve...

Chaps, I have about 80 good pics from the weekend. I don't want to clog up your in boxes so if you want some let me know which ones and I'll send them specifically. B Hi Barry, I would appreciate it if you could send me the pics you took of my 1812 figures, the small preview shot you get on your ca...

I totally agree Peter, the weekend was superb and a great way to celebrate my birthday. Perahps if we had taken an extra hour or so on the Friday night to layout most if not all the figures might have made a difference to the final outcome but then we would have missed all the fun of Adrian and Wend...

Tentative date for the 2007 Pirate game is March 17th & 18th at the Heugh Hotel in Stonehaven. Please let me know if this doesn't work for anyone. Peter Peter, I have enough trouble arranging things for a week ahead but as far as I know these dates should be OK for me especially as my wife is off a...

Although pikes began to disappear from the battlefield during the WSS their is evidence that they were still be used in the early years of the war. On the yahoo group Blenheim 2004 there was a interesting discussion that some British battalions still had pikes at Blenheim. I would be interested to ...

Dave can you suplly the following from your 1812 colelction to double up as Dutch Belgians; 1 x32 infantry battalion (to represent 1st/28th Nassau Oranie 1 x 24 infantry battalion to represent 13th Dutch militia If anyone gets bored and feels like painting up a Brigade command figure or two ( I mou...

Dave, because this game is so big Dale and Peter offered a few extra places when we met at Claymore(I think you were off plundering the Spanish Main at the time). Paul Mclauchlin and Peter McCarroll are two fine chaps from over here in the west who are stepping in to fill some vacant roles. I think...

Peter McCarroll is painting Brunswickers? or is it Hanoverians

Who????????
Colin mentioned something to me on Thursday about new people joining in but I seem to have missed this info.

Cheers
Dave

Peter, I had emailed you and Dale before I went on holiday 4 weeks ago asking whether you wanted to use my 1812 Americans as Dutch/Belgians as the uniform is similar, so far I've received no reply.

Cheers
Dave
