Battleground, Saturday 26th November...

[Peeler]

I too had a most pleasant day, we put on a DBN Salamanca game, several people joined in over the day, and lots of yabbering was done. Bought a dozen scary looking scythie armed Scottish type figures & a prisoner wagon, which I thought was quite apt. Bacon bun was nice, as was the Humble pie cafe on the way home.

Andy did not merely 'lose to Peeler at DBN'.

He was totally & utterly demolished, destroyed, routed, defeated, rolled over & ransacked. Twice.

And I don't want anyone to think that this was mere revenge for what he did to me at Fram.

[Count Belisarius]

Credit where credit's due... You were lucky...

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

So it was just you, Peeler, Alex and Leon then?

[goat major]

Credit where credit's due... You were lucky...

You mean he didn't cheat ? That's an improvement I suppose

So we're not mentioning the accidental purchase of artillery crew then? I did think it was remarkable.

[Count Belisarius]

Having a bloody great crewed gun in the middle of your command stand is in the finest Ayton tradition...

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

To be fair, the toffs usually need something to lean on when their chatting. Or shagging their hussar uniform bedecked bits of fluff.

[Ilkley Old School]

It sounds like it was a good show. I found this pic of the Salamanca DBN game on the Scotia Albion blog.

[Essex Boy]

Good looking game, that.

Is that sand scattered across the table, or the crumbs from Peeler's pies?

I knew I'd forgotten something - those hairy scarey scythe carriers I bought - whilst not wearing me specs.
I thought I'd got a wonderful command group of a chap blowing a flute, a chap with a screwdriver stabby thing, a chap with a long handled hammer weapon, and another carrying something heavy.
Upon further inspection with specs, they turned out to be artillery crew.
D'oh! Thankfully the vendor let me swap them.
