No doubt Marlborough was a great Captain General but from reading of battle accounts, he had his share of luck as well. Looks like his luck wasn't there and it really shows you what happens when you don't have luck ;-) It's like playing against the 12 year old newbie that rolls sixes consistently… I would rather have luck than skill at times. No matter what many of us think, the great generals thought this as well :=) |

Great stuff, Simon. I am looking forward at getting back into WSS now I have retired, but probably 10mm for me. Mollinary |

I think if I was starting from scratch now I too would go for 10 mil |

I did start over again this past year and I really like the Blue Moon 15s..ok, 18s. And nice AAR, Simon! |

I have also picked up some Blue Moon and find that by mounting them on thiner bases they look fine alongside Minifigs. |
