At the club, a refight of the Battle of The clouds during the American War of Independence was hosted. The British seemed to have the unenviable task of dislodging the Americans from a defended ridge line. In the actual battle, fought in September 1777, there was a torrential downpour and the American cartridges were soaked and ruined by the rain. Washington was then forced to retreat, leaving the field to the British. I didn't stay long enough to see if history was repeated or reversed, but a certain club member completely redeemed himself, after last week's despicable table-top cowardice (see 23rd January post), when he was seen admirably leading the Queen's Rangers in bravely attacking the American positions!

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
