Between your doubling and my Prussian expansion (nearing completion), Barry's in process Calpe Prussian "brigade", we should have more than enough to do Ligny (and the Placenoit front at Waterloo) in 1815. :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-81010389556180302802013-07-23T19:59:21.032-04:002013-07-23T19:59:21.032-04:00Looks like everyone had fun.

Of course, while I was there I bought some Perry figures to add an Uhlan regiment and a second Hussar regiment to my Prussian forces. After that and a few canon models, I think I am done with der Preussicshes!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-25177542750970823992013-07-23T19:22:32.641-04:002013-07-23T19:22:32.641-04:00Thanks Rafa!

The drive to Fredericksburg is longer but do-able as long as you time your transit of the Baltimore/DC area well - no problems last year of this year that way. There were a lot of very visually striking games this year, more so than for the past several years. The main gaming hall is very noisy, but improved from last year. The AC dealt with 100 degree temps and very high humidity with no difficulty - far superior to the Host in that regard. The convention center is in the middle of a major retail shopping and chain dining destination. I'll be posting mpre over te next few weeks. Go if you can!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-57744614256003509652013-07-23T16:03:13.917-04:002013-07-23T16:03:13.917-04:00Brilliant Peter, so you got all tge Prussians fini...Brilliant Peter, so you got all tge Prussians finished on time!Paulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-30161446489326305592013-07-23T15:27:32.544-04:002013-07-23T15:27:32.544-04:00I like the God's hand!
