He is very much hoping that the divisions don't feel hungry. However he doesnt mind if people find out about the confederate building program.horseartilleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859830318692083514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-26447608654225138562017-04-15T18:28:09.878+08:002017-04-15T18:28:09.878+08:00My pleasure.

It also gives me something to look back on and removes the downside of ephemera that is associated with the gaming side of wargaming, particularly boardgames.<br /><br />I love games that naturally tell a story. WBTS lacks a bit of colour, but as Simon and I have remarked while playing, it is very easy to spin a yarn as to what happened behind the blandness of a six sided die roll.<br /><br />With these big games I really enjoy how they live on in one's mind in between moves. I keep looking up rules and looking at the pictures etc planning my next moves for when Simon and I can get together and play some more.<br /><br />Simon has also encouraged making the blog posts as he felt others would enjoy it. He's provided a heap of commentary on the Reb builds and I'm just waiting to confirm he meant it to be published before incorporating it in a blog post.<br /><br />Meanwhile I am also enjoying reading up about the war to get some background and understanding. Currently reading The Coming Fury by Bruce Catton, the first part of his 1960s trilogy about the war that I've had for ages, but never got around to reading till now.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-2459660842299929132017-04-15T17:46:41.219+08:002017-04-15T17:46:41.219+08:00Thanks for writing this up.
