Desperate last ditch defending and taking advantage of momentary lulls was key and the game demonstrated this very well indeed.<br /><br />It is good to see some of those Airfix figures on the table and the buildings are delightful.<br /><br />Reading this fair made my morning!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-90811007935560702442020-03-12T23:53:47.238-07:002020-03-12T23:53:47.238-07:00Excellent looking game.Excellent looking game.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-49977257037166513852020-03-12T19:21:34.292-07:002020-03-12T19:21:34.292-07:00Just great battle!Just great battle!Strategist Ultima Orientehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592277917555880737noreply@blogger.com
