Actually, my unit is attending, but I am not. I'm sure HG will be there though.  Eric |

HG is in a position of authority. I will be one of his minions. |

Which would make him "Despicable HG"? |

"Which would make him "Despicable HG"?" Oh, we call him that and other things… |

I'm going to steal the moon. Ssshhh. |

I feel sorry for them. It rained all weekend. |
| Virginia Tory | 03 May 2016 6:27 a.m. PST |
Nope, really only rained from Saturday night through to Sunday AM. Stopped around lunchtime, so we were able to do our thing both days (Sunday AM skirmish was out, though). From Saturday--the bayonet charge that finished off the rebels. YouTube link |

It was fun indeed .
Though the "battle "on Sunday was a little one-sided .
10 muskets and 4 officers vs 175 insurgents (doodles) and 2 artillery a side . we offered to have a couple of the muskets sit to make it fairer but the rebels said no . The funniest part of the whole weekend was on Saturday night when it started to drizzle and the British units that pride themselves on being campaigners all left(most anyway ) and went home because it was raining. Their new name is Camplainers |

"The funniest part of the whole weekend was on Saturday night when it started to drizzle and the British units that pride themselves on being campaigners all left(most anyway ) and went home because it was raining.

We are indeed . if you mean the 17th foot . In their defense they likely had a late night sewing party to attend . |

Did HG steal the moon? Either the astrological object or the bateaux? Eric |
| grtbrt | 04 May 2016 7:01 p.m. PST |
Don't think he did steal the moon, but he thought about playing the rusty trombone . |

I think my mount is expressing my feelings on all this: link |

historygamer -- superb photographs! Great inspiration for all the 28mm AWI figure painting I have yet to complete. |
| historygamer | 05 May 2016 5:56 a.m. PST |
They are nice photos of part of the battle. |
| grtbrt | 05 May 2016 10:19 a.m. PST |
very nice photos. I even spotted a young marine ensign in photo 307(upper left side ).
I enjoyed the photo of the bayonet advance -even if discipline had broken and most british had broken formation to run while charging .( a pet peeve of mine ,along with how most units wheel ) |
