Friday 12th June saw us back at Rupert's gaff to play a game that he was to umpire set in the Napoleonic Wars, as usual this was part of the Russian Campaign, a rich source of scenarios that Rupert is working through!
Figures were from John's, Mike N, Dave and others and the game used Shako rules and was umpired by Rupert. John, & Dave took the side of the French (Mike N. being out on a pub crawl!) whilst Mat, Mike W & Steve played the Russians.
