@ Ian - i...@ Brendan - it was a fantastic game! :)<br /><br />@ Ian - it was definitely tough and definitely uphill, even if the pics make it look flat!! :)<br /><br />@ Norm - the time limits for movement phase certainly made things more challenging and tense :)<br /><br />@ Michael A - it was indeed m'Lord! :)<br /><br />@ Clint - cheers! :)<br /><br />@ Simon J - thanks! I think I'd prefer the rivers a bit greener :)<br /><br />@ Graham C - friction was definitely present on my side as we had more moves to make ;)<br /><br />@ Francis - thanks big fella! :)<br /><br />@ Adam - it is a very dark blue/grey. I think it needs to be more green :)<br /><br />@ Sidney - we were lucky to have Gordon's extensive collection of figures to play with, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible :)<br /><br />@ Millsy - we might be doing a repeat in a few weeks time, possibly on a Sunday to allow more time :)<br /><br />@ Curt - unsurprisingly some of the other participants have made similar suggestions on our club's email list. It was good to fight such an iconic battle :)<br /><br />@ Dannoc - cheers! :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-17509071948976166322016-10-15T11:46:59.006+01:002016-10-15T11:46:59.006+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dannochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205319931299064812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-43214302421125994342016-10-15T11:46:52.118+01:002016-10-15T11:46:52.118+01:00To me the river looks good though I see what you m...To me the river looks good though I see what you mean about the stray fibres when you look up close.<br />Nice battle report and the William the conqueror base/figures look great.Dannochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205319931299064812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-60969393479566339882016-10-13T17:35:00.010+01:002016-10-13T17:35:00.010+01:00Nice seeing another 1066 game being played.

I think you may be right about the suggestion for more Normans and some sort of fatigue mechanic for the English (and perhaps some nice mods for those Normans/Bretons fighting near the Pope's gonfanon).Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-85180504392752715072016-10-13T10:02:57.305+01:002016-10-13T10:02:57.305+01:00Sounds like loads of fun.
