Draw:
Martin Stephenson v Ray Boyles
Dene Green v Keith Spedding
Jon Phipps v Bob Amey
Simon Clarke v Graham Hutchinson

Good job Graham is not facing the whole of Sudan

Who will be Brazil and who Germany? Brazil appear to be putting up less resistance to the Germans than France in 1940

Aaaaaargh

Just looked at the calendar and found out that Sunday is my wife's birthday

But being master in my own house I told her she would have to live with it - gulp

Just look at the West Sudanese 650 point army



It will not fit on the small tables

[titanu]

Wow - just look at the trophies

[rayd]

Just finished. Thanks to good varnish-drying weather this weekend! Only the labels to do now.

Ray has asked me to post pics of his Moldavian/Wallacian flags:



Its another big 650 point army

Bob,

don't let the number of banners fool you - it's not that big an army!

Ray

Very nice job on the trophies Ray. I'm disappointed to miss the event this year but I'm sure you'll all have a great time.

[rayd]

No worries. Just put it in your diary before booking your holiday next year. Enjoy your break!

A couple of pictures of the armies on the table:

Simon and his West Sudanese



Martin and his Early Lithuanian

When I see these photos I am reminded of the TLA (three letter acronyms ) used in magazine publication. For instance in equally awkward looking photos in angling magazines they are generally categorised into 2 camps , MWF and RBA .... 'man with fish' and 'rod bending action'

there really ought to be some wargaming equivalent.

... The Winner And Trophy.... or maybe not

Martin and his Early Russians

Early Lithuanians.

Are the Russians making a bid for Lithuania!!!

I think that last one was not in angling magazines
