T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part. To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view. The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group.

Once again I urge you to consider 'writing this battle up' for BATTLEGAMES.
You have many wonderful photos . . . and, especially considering that this is a BATTLEGAMES 'Teaser', I suspect that Henry might well want to publish it . . . you should at least inquire.

Stokes and I had already been talking about doing a joint write-up of the game for Battlegames. We shall see what comes of it, but we're both interested in the idea.
