You are so tight in terms of getting together with friends for wargaming, drinks, food and conversation and the big games that evolve into a traditional get together are to be savoured. Your group of companions are certainly so well known in wargaming circles that is always great to see photos of you playing so many wonderful games over the years.<br /><br />Thank you also Bill for your link to my blog and the rules page - it is greatly appreciated.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-20119013152428736742017-09-13T14:26:53.750-05:002017-09-13T14:26:53.750-05:00A magnificent affair by any measure!
