The deciding game of our Brexite campaign was played a couple of days ago and the AAR can be found on my Blog:

Good report, Steve!  :-bd

... only thing to point out though is that it would have been Louis XV who would have been 'chagrinned' in 1745-46 (Louis XIV died in 1714) ... tut, tut .... :P

Yes Paul, some of the units are newly painted. In fact the cavalry that won the game had their debut, which wasn't too bad really :).

Yes, quite. Those newly painted Superior cavalry turned the tide of the war. Just wait until they had mud on their boots then it'll be a different fight. If only I had lancers to match them, then Ponsonby's family will be having an earlier inheritance.

Thanks Chris and I'm sure Ponsonby's descendants will make an appearance in future games :D.
