You can almost hear the fifes and drums and smell the cordite.<br />Glad you enjoyed the read; working my way around the table whilst researching the words of the chaps who walked that particular part of the ground seemed to me to add another level to the game. I know I will be hearing some of those memorable quotes in my mind whilst the chaps are playing. I must see if I can capture some of that immediacy in my own report of the game.<br />All the best <br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-15209286878048218172017-06-18T04:57:15.603-07:002017-06-18T04:57:15.603-07:00Hi Jeremy,

It has been a pleasure swapping thoughts throughout this and previous projects and I know the passion we both share for the period and the hobby.<br />I really appreciate you support for the charity, thanks mate. I'd love to hear your thoughts on ideas you are going to incorporate in your own collection and I know you have been putting together some lovely 28mm Peninsular War goodies.<br />Keep on gaming and enjoy the summer now it seems to have arrived.<br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-61924172096299515512017-06-18T04:52:25.741-07:002017-06-18T04:52:25.741-07:00Hi Colbourne, thank you, that is exactly the react...Hi Colbourne, thank you, that is exactly the reaction I hoped to generate and encourage others in the hobby.<br />All the best <br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-71301148091283934552017-06-18T04:50:44.085-07:002017-06-18T04:50:44.085-07:00Thank you Roger for this and your previous comment...Thank you Roger for this and your previous comments.
