Good stuff! The photos make it much better to follow the action. 

You have plenty of figures on the table!!

I'd let the random terrain cause whatever mayhem it does. It could be said to be the outcome of pre battle manoeuvring. 

The Prussians look good. Just saying.

Nothing that we had planned!

It was all planned for a family Christmas. We would drive down to the in-laws. Our nephew, Rob, would be cooking the dinner on Christmas Day (he is a real foodie, even worse than me). I would just have to drink cocktails and act as sous chef. Friday we were leaving the dogs with the in-laws and going into London with nephew and niece, for a posh lunch and trip to theatre. Meeting other friends for lunch on Saturday as part of a leisurely drive home. I even had a Christmas jumper to wear ("Is It Over Yet?" with The Grinch)

At the weekend Broni's cough, which she had been fighting off for weeks, turned into a lung infection, so she is in bed on heavy dose antibiotics. She insisted we still go and leave her at home, but we delayed travelling until today. This morning Towse woke up full of snot, with headache, aching limbs and a temperature.

Christmas is cancelled!! I should have known better.

BAH HUMBUG!!!!

Hope you are all fit and well soon.
But at least you now have some time to bring forward all your 2025 purchases before the price rise

My sympathies.

Mrs. R4 went into hospital yesterday. She's fine, but won't be home until at least tomorrow, so that's everyone's plans scuppered.

There is bugger all on the box so there is nothing for, I'll have to set up a solo game to pass the time! :D

Sorry to hear everyones travails over Xmas, but good to know all seem to be on the mend. SWMBO was really ropey Xmas Eve, but a good dose of medicine and a very long sleep and she is now OK. Loads of illnesses doing the rounds in our neck of the woods :( .

sunjester

Thanks for the good wishes everyone, fortunatly the antibiotics are doing their stuff and both patients are starting to show signs of recovery!

Definately a lot of bugs going around, 2 other friends spent 3 days over Christmas on the loo, so I am glad we avoided that particular virus!

Raider4, I hope all is well at your end.
