"As I mentioned in the previous Blog post,Phil and I tackled a second F&IW game in our regular Monday meeting here in GHQ last week. Phil as Lord Rawnsley assumed command of the British force, keen to follow up its success under Lord Walton, while I had the task of rallying my defeated French force and halting the British advance. In this I was aided by being able to fall back towards Fort Decouragement to give my battered force a secure base at least. I also had the very faint hope for the timely arrival of my Paddoquoi Allies who had taken the previous defeat very badly."

oh yes it is a Strong Discouragement to see a such ridiculous name for a military place…not very far there is certainly Fort Depression facing the redcoats of Fort Melancholy |

Actually these names were probably on the minds of young European soldiers who found themselves deep in the woods of North America. |
