A Burn of Byzantines
Dennis Shorthouse, Proprietor of On Military Matters book service, has organized an impromptu tournament using a battle grid system of his devising. All figures are place on a grid so players can play over a telephone without a video component.
The board is 15 by 20 UD's. The rows are labeled H – A. Each side has their own H-B, and the A row is divided in half. The columns are numbered 1-20. Terrain sizes are 2x3.
In it's first outing, it's Byzantines vs Samurai, titled A Burn of Byzantines. You'll get the joke later :)

Nice AAR – also good to see those Samurai are not invincible!

Just have a look at the 12th photo down (about half way down the page). All should become clear.

Also the meme is USA Specific, and may not translate to our brothers in the UK.

This meme has spread far and wide. I see it all the time and I'm in New Zealand. Such is the, er, beauty, of mass electronic communication :-)
