On Thursday I played a marvellous wargame at Stryker's "Hinton Hut" using his magnificent collection of vintage 20mm figures. The refight of Waterloo can be read in full here (with loads of extra pictures to boot).

The French came on in the same old style and as I was playing Picton, I met them in the same old style.
And just like Picton I shuffled off this mortal coil (this time while supporting the 11th Light Dragoons morale throw!)
I now have the record of an unbeaten streak of defeats while leading Ian's toys!
My thanks to Ian, Tony, Nigel and Goya for a fantastic game and to the excellent catering provided by Mrs S.
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastic spectacle!
DeleteI forgot that Picton bit the dust - on the plus side his infantry hardly had a scratch!
ReplyDeleteAnd held a very straight line if I recall!
DeleteOutstanding! A brilliant looking game and I would add what an honour to play in it. I really love the look of everything, its just perfect.
ReplyDeleteYep you have hit the nail squarely on the head.
DeleteYou jammy so-and-so, Matt. It's never a defeat when you get inside the Hinton Hut!
ReplyDeleteStryker's dedication to his passion is inspiring!
