Excellent day out yesterday; I drove up north to Stryker's estates, for one of his fabulous Napoleonic extravaganzas. Waterloo re-revisited, and very good too. I know Ian will make a wonderful job of putting together an appropriate report, so this is the most humble of glimpses of what went on - no thunder will be stolen. Here are a few of my own photos of the battle, just to give a taster.
It's been 12 weeks since my last involvement in any wargaming at all, and yesterday was really most enjoyable; Stryker's magnificent collection of Hinton Hunt figures, proper Old School rules and organisation and game management, faultless hospitality and a sunny day spent in the company of friends. Good chat, no issues with attitudes or alternative agendas. Restorative.
My thanks to Baron and Baroness Stryker for all their hard work and kindness, and to everyone involved.
Looks fantastic! There's no school like the old school.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very fine day. I never went to school myself, but I believe it wasn't all bad.
DeleteIt sounds a super day out. I will have to track down the full report
ReplyDeleteHi Jim - Ian should have something good posted in the next day or two - probably my favourite blog -

Looks fun, but I think you could've let us know who won. I shall, in eager anticipation, keep an eye on Stryker's blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob - for contractual reasons, I must not leak the outcome. I'll give you a clue though - it wasn't the Austrians.
