Poor Old Picton...

 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 opening of the battle with reinforcements off-table.


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 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.
