Did it involve using a computer ?
Book the hotel room for the Friday night and it costs £60. Book a room for the Saturday night and it costs £75. Book the two nights together and the cost of the Friday night goes up to £75.

And don't get me started on the train fare. National Rail website - return ticket, Grays to Diss £54. What they won't sell you is that a return ticket Stratford to Diss is only £18, and the return from Grays to Stratford is only £14. £22 difference. Bar stewards.

I think there will be 8 or 9 of us, so I've probably got enough figures unless you've got a unit of Frontier Horse (I'll have to substitute Basutos if not). I'll check the Nyezane OOB to see what might be missing. I'm pretty sure I'm sorted for terrain since the only salient features are hills and a small river.

Now I need volunteers to play Zulus!
Why us? Cos we're 'ere lad, nobody else.

Home away from home. We all know Essexland is much larger than Zululand and also has its own variety of half naked savages
