Christmas Special-very Special!!

The "fab four" had a fab game last night,with added banter,rude jokes and lots and lots of laughs-this is how the night started.............................

Ho,Ho,Ho, this is Brian's way of saying "have yourselves a merry little Christmas"-there must be something we can do about him!!!

Scenario and table layout-Graham and I were the French,Brian was the British and Paul was the Dutch.

I opened the battle with a most ferocious attack on the Hamlet-my attacks lasted the whole game,and Brian responded wonderfully,by beating every attack and "eating up" all of my 6 regiments!!

Brian has launched an audacious attack against my French-held centre,with his British,whilst the "chuckle brothers" stood and looked at each other in the background!!

At last! the Provincials and Dutch have decided to join the battle,however both sides have decided to not get their cavalry involved-8 squadrons each,going to waste!!!

As Brian,minus antlers! writes his orders,my attacks are still going in-but not successfully!
I am notorious for throwing "bad" dice,but last night was the worst it's been,ever!!!!

To my left,my bad dice throwing was being matched by Graham's!!-we were taking a right old "bashing"-send in the cavalry(oh that could be a good line for a Christmas song!)-but they didn't,WHY,WHY,WHY???????-I think that hat's gone to Paul's head.

Meanwhile,back at the Hamlet,I am done for-all attacks failed,and no more troops left-but what of the other flank(the one with all the cavalry on it!)

Well,this overall shot of the table shows Graham's troops in a bad way,so we called it a night and the "Allies" were declared the winners!
This was,by any standards a great and spectacular game-well done to us all!
I received this Christmas card yesterday........................

This is a photograph of the front of the card-very nice.

This is a photograph of the back of the card-even nicer!!

Happy Christmas to you all,we hope you have a peaceful,wonderful time,with lots of wargaming "goodies" in your stockings!!
