One of two games played at this months meeting of the DWG was a tribute game to the late, great Sir Roger Moore recreating his role in one of the great series of British action movies produced in the late 70's, 'The Wild Geese'. If you would like to see how the mission turned out and if the chaps managed to get President Limbani on to his waiting Dakota, then just follow the link to the club blog. link Jonathan (JJ)
