From my side of the table… The Battle of Zamora.

Greetings …

Alan Perry has started posting an account of the recent Salamanca campaign that I took part in…

The Battle of Zamora was the first of only two battles that I took part in…

As I recall General Ricleau and myself would have clearly won this action had the English and their allies not used unfair tactics… such as having more men and rolling much better dice.😳

Alan has posted a relatively accurate account of the battle here…

Here are some of my own images… Which show how truly beautiful and glorious our army was and how immense the English hordes were… 😁

This was an excellent and enjoyable game in the company of good friends…

The miniatures, terrain and all the hard work were /are Alan Perry’s.

All the best   Aly

Alan will be regularly posting all the actions and adventures from the campaign on the Perry Miniatures Facebook site…

From my side of the table... The Potomac Campaign 2

 Greetings...

This is the next instalment of my involvement in Alan Perry’s Potomac Campaign...

The Battle at Point of Rocks...

Once again I shall refer you to Alan’s reasonably accurate account as my only recollection was that it was glorious...

“As I recall I took possession of the ridge and as the tidal wave of  secessionists washed against my bastion I had the pleasure of watching a great victory unfold below me.
General Ebenezer Leonidas Luckless the Third.

Hurrah!

Boo!

Hurrah!

Boo!

Hurrah!

Boo!

Hurrah!

Boo!

Hurrah! 

Glorious days indeed...

It was a very enjoyable game and clearly a victory for the good guys...

All the best.  Aly

From my side of the table... The Potomac Campaign.

 Greetings...

Some of you may have noticed that Alan Perry has been posting the account of the ongoing Potomac Campaign that was started last year... which of course has been paused because of circumstances beyond our control.

I must say it is nice to see what was happening away from my own area of command... it’s also good to see that he could remember what actually happened, it’s pretty much lost in the mists of time as far as I am concerned...

Go here for a full account of The Battle of Charles Town...

The only evidence I can find of the day is a short and almost certainly very accurate statement from my glorious commander...

“Although vastly outnumbered we fought like lions and I am convinced that when we left the field of battle we were clearly the victors”
General Ebenezer Leonidas Luckless the Third.

Here are some images from the day... I shall leave the narrative to those with sharper memories...

 Luckless shall return...

All the best    Aly
