Because of limited spare time I've come a little late to the action this time. But it was well worth the visit.

ReplyDeleteThe British attack has slowed down, it seems to have took an eternity to get the cavalry through the gap. There was a lot of 'itty bitty' fighting in this one with lots of recoils. Hopefully the Brits can force it before the turns run out & the Hun gets his reserves in place!
