| Young Master Paul makes his opening move in our Blasthof Bridge refight yesterday afternoon. |
A busy Monday ahead as somewhat more normal life cranks and clanks back into gear following a long July 4th holiday weekend here in the U.S. As soon as I have the chance, I'll share a few after-action ramblings, but the two of us had a blast (ahem) playing another game of toy soldiers, which lasted about 2.5 hours. That seems just about right.
I won the game on a technicality, but The Young Master meted out considerable punishment and rolled well when it came to morale tests. And, most important, he enjoyed the experience of pushing lead around the table. We're planning another game shortly, possibly a raid of some sort. He likes these.
Our game also got me thinking later of ways to continue refining (otherwise known as trimming the fat) from my developing rules, so that they can indeed be committed to memory instead of of (right now) five pages of small print (Groan!). But of that more anon.

I see a few more troops than at the original Battle of Blasthof, looking forward to the triumphant AAR.

We both have fond memories of the hours spent together. His younger brother never really got wargaming so we spent hours at football (soccer) matches instead!
You will remember these times long after they are concluded.
