Gentlemen, It is about time I got the prepartions under way for June. My first task is troops to task. I have made a start thanks to the matrix that was filled in during Ligny. Peter I have 20/5/3 French from you - can you give me numbers of battalions, regiments (cav) and guns for your British, Spa...

Gentlemen, Firstly once again thank you for allowing me to get away at 3 o'clock - despite your kind words I still felt very guilty bunking off. What a superb weekend. The terrain was magnificent (you can start painting wargame figuers agian now Adrian!), the special rules for the fighting in built ...

Gentlemen, I have not heard if any help is needed on the Friday. Happy to turn up Friday morning but if not needed will arrive Friday pm. Next (I stand by for justified abuse) I will make my apologies to you all now for having to leave at 3pm on Sunday (probably before the clearing up). I hate to do...

My offer to come and help on Friday still stands - if I am not required I will turn up mid Friday afternoon to check in (and to help Angus in the bar is nothing else). Charles

No tanks here - strickly horse and musket - but very happy to chip in. Charles

Barry, The Prussians must have started Hogmanay early with hallucinatory snaps or you are exploring the wider reaches of fantacy wargaming! Surely not? One of the joys of wargaming is that we do try to produce reasonable representations of reality. When you wake up and the dream wears off I fear you...

Dear Barry & Gentlemen, Firstly well done Barry for putting the weekend together - a fantastic achievement. It was obvious from the moment I arrived on Sunday morning that Saturday had gone really well. I am sorry I had to miss it. Likewise the "evening agend" - dinner and bar (always my strong poin...

Dear Barry, Thanks I picked up the info when I arrived at Targe at 1430hrs. I can make the Sunday only that weekend (I take it you mean 24/25 Nov?) and will turn up about 0930 for the day if thats OK. I would welcome the dates for 2008 so I can get them in my diary but the most pressing one is the M...

Dear Peter, Many thanks for the offer of troops and houses which will be very greatfully recieved. My own Spanish village/ town whatever? is progressing well. 27 scratch made buildings, 10 outbuildings, a church and two bridges. None of which are completly finished but all more or less built. Madnes...

Barry, Many thanks. I will be in touch with dates for planning meeting at my house. Yours aye, Charles

Dear Barry, With some trepidation having enjoyed the excellently organised games so far I will volunteer for the Peninsular organiser but I would ask if you would assit me please. If you agree I will get in touch and ask you over for a discussion and initial planning conference. As to the Marlboroug...

Dear All, I am sorry to be slow to join the discussion. We have had two family bereavements in 3 days in late August (my wifes father and, very suddenly, my mother) so things are only just getting back to normal. Thankfully, with Charles jnr at home wargaming, figure painting and continuing my spani...

Dear Barry et al, I have been away for the last four days hence the delay in thanking you for a quite excellent weekend. As I said, I think it was my first modern game since my father and I played with Airfix figures and dinky, Rocco and other WW2 vehicles. It certainly lived up to expectations and ...

Dear Peter and Andrew, Thank you both for all your hard work and planning in laying on a quite excellent weekend and running it. The measure of your success was that everyone was fully engaged throughout and there were a host of vignettes that were going on simultaneously (some of which we will prob...

I cannot help with figues or equipment for the period I'm afraid, but please count me in for the June 1944 Normany battle. Yours aye, Charles
