Last September saw a sub-group of the Ayton crowd gather at the most excellent home of Paul Bright near Aberfeldy for a weekend of gaming in excellent company. The first writeup for this appeared in MWBG 368 where several of us wrote up the game from our own perspectives. My game reports are usually written from the viewpoint of Private Rüdiger Lamm of von Donovan's Savage Swans. Not the greatest of literary efforts but it does let me comment on other parts of the game from a most particular perspective :)

The blog entry is here: link

And the gallery is here: blog.belisarius.org.uk/scotland-2013

Those big battalions remind me of something out of a Charles Grant book; very nice.
