All great things come to an end and so it was with this game of Borodino. We pulled up stumps early afternoon today after three and a half great days of wargaming, camaraderie and humour!
The group was so welcoming and I really appreciated being able to join in such a mammoth game. Thanks to our wonderful hosts Jill and Tim and to all of the players (in alphabetical order) Andrew, Ben, Darren, Gary, Jenks, Jim, John, ’Kiwi’ Andrew, Malcolm, Paul, Peter, Robin, Tim, Tony and Quinny.
‘Rosbif’ and I will be working on a combined summary to put on his blog, so I’m gonna keep you all in ‘suspenders’ about the result!
In the meantime, here are a few selected pictures from Saturday’s and Sunday’s play.
Firstly in the south, Utitsa area
Next the centre-south, just north of Utitsa
On to the centre-north, near the redoubt
In the north, Borodino area

Just incredible, you know it but I will say it anyway.

ReplyDeleteHi James,
