Looking forward to Grant's 'Action', which often gets overshadowed by 'Blastof Bridge', I think. I've played both a number of times over the years and they're always entertaining. By 'scaled down' do you mean fewer figures in the regiments? |

When I went to your blog to read your report I saw your "headline" photo with lovely troops on the kind of decorated popular nowadays and I thought "oh no – not for Blasthof Bridge". However, a tiny scroll down to the actual post and my fears were confounded. Your game looks fantastic – the look and feel of Charge to a tee… Great, great, great – as soon as I've had dinner I'm going to get my copy of "Charge" off the shelf and have a nostalgic wallow. Well done, Sir…! Doug |

Well done indeed Sir – an inspiration to more than the lucky fellows who took part! |

Looks great!
Always wanted to do this, but somehow never got going. Like Doug, I guess I'll just have to read the book again. Grelber |

Mark, Loved it on the AMG Forum, love it here. A wonderful tribute to what is arguably the most famous of all wargames. Well done, Sir William |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
