Actually I did Rob, but it didn't draw much interest

Nice to see the French winning a game.

A good game. Every grain ship sunk or captured is less food in the belly's of the French.

I can only echo Robs comments Peter, I have solo run a game at a show, but only for one day and that was tireing, you have my admiration sir, plus pics

I am quite jealous at all the clubs you have in Old Blighty. Teamwork goes a long way to make running games at show a lot easier and more fun.

Thats a shame Pete. It's always good to have a Second Lt. on hand.
That makes your solo efforts at these shows even more impressive.

Unfortunately at the shows I run games at I am usually on my own. If any others put up any photos it is always a bonus.
