Thanks gents. Unfortunately all celebrating has been postponed as the twins have chicken pox!

The plastic and alloy officer cadre in our household are relieved at this temporary reprieve from my 'generalship'.

Many happy returns of the day, Colin! :D

I suspect your world record remains intact: the six generals down in your opening attack on Bautzen (Derby 2012) was legend! :shock: :lol:

happy birthday Colin.
I visited the Battlefield at Franklin this year .
Here's a wee extract from the guidebook
I didn't know you were into civil war...."The Confederate assault of six infantry divisions containing eighteen brigades with 100 regiments numbering almost 20,000 men, sometimes called the "Pickett's Charge of the West", resulted in devastating losses to the men and the leadership of the Army of Tennessee—fourteen Confederate generals (six killed or mortally wounded, seven wounded, and one captured" :shock: :lol:
Have a good Christmas . My commiserations re chicken pox.
A good brandy will help.
