It's Ian Stewart.

Does the talented Mr Stewart realise how handicapped he will be...?

I haven't told him what army I've chosen.

Or that I've been soundly thrashed by Mr Amey in the three practices games I've had with it....

Form would suggest Handley and Sharp, especially with such a good army choice. Eric and Hammy might be a good outside bet, especially with that army choice. The one question is can Mr Stewart do enough to drag dave_r into his customary first loser spot...?

Hi, sad news... Duncan Thompson, who was been a regular at Usk and Badcon has just had a stroke. He is currently poorly but stable. I'll be bringing a get well card at the weekend, and doing the rounds trying to get everyone to sign it. If any of you know Duncan (from Swindon), you will know he is a gentle and understated fellow. I'm sure a bit of wargaming community solidarity (even if it just signing a card) will help him

If you would like to sign and I don't collar you please seek me out and ask to sign

Many thanks

Simon

See you all soon and best wishes to Duncan

Do people need to bring cloths for the tables again?

If they want them

I did get it the wrong way round, sorry. (Although the score was in fact 18-2).

Corrected version as follows:

Ha. There is no "I" in team.

Thanks to Dave and Nik, Hammy and Eric, Nigel and Neil and Dino and Samantha for four jolly good games and Richard for organising a thoroughly good event.

From what I heard there was no 'u' either.
