Like T13A, I seem to have an emotional connection as well. When I was eleven or twelve I read somewhere that the Times publishes an obit for Harold on the battle anniversary (today) noting that he died in defense of his country. Don't know if the Times still does this but the idea has always stuck with me.

I think waving the flag is with good reason, Norm. The game system looks so clean and intriguing that I just ordered a copy of both battles. Of note Revolution Games is currently having a sale!

Thanks all and thanks Bill for the trust in a design.

I wonder whether modern generations know the significance of 1066 or even care compared to say forty years ago?

We bumped into friends the other day who had had a decorator in the house .... who didn't know who Napoleon was! I mean you just assume don't you, that everyone knows. I am frightened to test this on my (adult) children in case the answer shocks me!

Needs to be a graphic novel done up as a movie!  :)
The "High Sparrow" (GoT) is very well known, Bishop Odo not so much.

=)In 4th grade in mid-1950s we had to know 1066, 1215, 1689 at minimum.
Now there is even vagueness about the significance of 1776.
No country for old men.  :)
