The Lady Emma Cuddlestone-Smythe and I renewed our annual Christmas holiday war game using Teddy Bears wearing tricorn hats. Click on the link to my blog for the story link |

I believe it was Frederick the Great who said, "A bear will fight long and hard for a stack of chocolate coins." |

That was a grizzly battle, Jim. Thanks for sharing that with us. Eric |

It is with honeycomb that bears are lead … |

Well done, looks like a hard fought engagement. Who makes the teddy bear grenadiers and infantry? |

They used to be made by Eureka, but they are out of production. Someone bought the molds several years ago and is sitting on them. |

Absolutely splendid. I didn't know how devastating pop guns could be! And the fact that the Blue Bears went back to their camp defeated and without their wagons of chocolate coins. Fritz, I do think that the pith helmet is bad luck against the tricorne. Perhaps next game you should wear a kepi or a picklehaub for better luck? |

So having a toast with the hard stuff before even starting the battle. Sounds like there was a method to this. |

The toast was with Diet Coke, our drink of choice. :) |

Like I said the hard stuff. |

You better not go into town today; the Teddy Bears are having their melee! |
