I find writing these posts really helps focus the mind when walking the battle as I think you get a better grasp on time and events when you have to think about explaining it to others.<br /><br />These old battle sites are really interesting to try and visualise as the fundamental terrain such as river gorges, street plans, especially close to churches and the old centre are much as they were. You then get to understand why these armies fought on a particular part of the local terrain and the issues respective commanders likely faced. Certainly helps inform the gaming experience.<br /><br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-6048242513563244682016-12-05T13:53:55.357-08:002016-12-05T13:53:55.357-08:00Nice report JJ.
