"Honours of War: The '45 Rebellion - Calamity at Carlisle " Topic

Following on from yet another Jacobite victory last week, the action has now moved on to Carlisle. The Jacobites having divided their forces, have sent one force towards Newcastle and the other towards Carlisle, in an attempt to confuse the Hanoverians. Our game is based upon the latter force … link

After having a horrible experience in Carlisle and picking up some flu-like bug there, I decided that *someone* should have burnt it down at least one more time.

Oh no, the Jacobites are a friendly bunch quietly going about their business after the battle. They were all sent to bed early with a nice cup of cocoa ;-)

Well you say that Roderick but it had a working fountain in the sixth century!

A man piddling against the tabernum wall does not a "fountain" make.

Every part of my experience there was awful, from the guesthouse to the lack of available food in the mid-afternoon (when all other cities' pubs were opening back up – we'd traveled from London and around the South before heading North, so were used to food availability). We finally found a fish and chips shop that was closing up whose food was…less than good.

Advertising "deep fried haggis on a stick" (yes, literally) did not fill me with confidence. (I ordered the fish & chips and was underwhelmed).

We didn't bother to stick around to sample the Reivers museum, but headed on up into Scotland at first light.

And when will these rules be available?

20th November I am led to believe; once Osprey have released them.
