I had never tried gaming the Crimea before but, having now commanded the Light Brigade, I would certainly be keen to do so again.<br /><br />JJ led the heavies to victory, despite the multiple threats of Russian guns, cavalry and infantry on 3 sides.<br /><br />The venue is truly superb, being a converted Victorian church and the owners provide great food and refreshments.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691369848035290908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-4591467148387704372013-06-30T20:58:30.489-07:002013-06-30T20:58:30.489-07:00Terrific looking game!

Quite a plush venue for a proper 19th Century game. Is there a better way to spend the day than gaming with friends?<br /><br />I have often chosen player commands based on player tendencies and watch how they react. Sometimes, give the most aggressive player a defensive command. Other times, when a scenario requires aggressiveness, give the most aggressive player that command and watch the fur fly.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-50330025857347307962013-06-30T18:45:33.384-07:002013-06-30T18:45:33.384-07:00Great looking game, JJ.
