They were. I just couldn't finish them off for a week, because I was stuck at home playing with myself (Gettysburg, in case you were wondering). I'm now back in work, but they've mistakenly booked me off on leave for another week from tomorrow, even though I didn't request it. Thanks to arcane railway rules, they still have to pay people if they were mistakenly rostered to work, so I now get a free week off.

those are excellent RMD - I'm still trying to rush my way through rushin infantry

So, tell us about Gettysburg.

Ta! Yeah, I've just started on some Russian Grenadiers and Foot Artillery, but they're now going to have to wait for another week. Then I've got a Russian infantry regiment, a jaeger regiment, some more foot artillery and a mix of AB & Sho Boki generals to do,

I'll post it all on my blog sometime this week. It was a cracking game. I did the Fire & Fury 'Sickles Salient' scenario and it was a proper nail-biter, right down to the last roll of the dice. The FIRST rolls of the dice resulted in the Rebs taking the Little Round Top...

Lee really needed loaded dice after the first day.

That was from OC Domestic hitting the ceiling when I asked her to move her sh...essential things off the dining table.

I'm sure I was admiring your Gettsyburg game last week. Where would I have seen it?
