It's not been from a lack of desire to post, it's just been a surfeit of work and an annoying cold that seems to getting in the way of things.
Fortunately, OttoCon in Carlisle, PA looms at the end of the month, so I've been busy helping to prepare for that.
And I did make my club's Games Day a couple of weeks ago, before trotting up north to Vermont to play 1800mm Moderns.
At Games Day, I took the part of Henry Proctor and led the British, Canadians and First Nations to victory over the dastardly Kentuckians led by General Winchester.
I'd like to say my opponents, Bill T. on the left and Jeff K. on the right are looking away in shame, but it's actually the start of the game and we were looking at Cliff B., our GM, as he was telling us some point of the rules.
We used Shako 2 for the rules, Cliff's 15mm War of 1812 figures, and, erm, a green cloth to represent the area around Frenchtown (now Monroe, Michigan) in winter...
It took me seven turns and some VERY lucky dice rolling, but I prevailed, much to my surprise.
I also took delivery of this very fine book, to help me further along in my research and it's been a fine read so far.
And now, back to the various and sundry employments on a "Make and Mend Day".
