Some pics taken down at the Rainham Wargames Club.
General Grant (aka Tim) prepares his army for combat.
Robert E Lee (aka Graham) peruses reports from his troops. They have captured a stock of essential and rare war material: boots.
The Confederate Army.
The generals prepare for combat. Grant does a bit of marching on the spot while Lee girds his loins (what does that mean?) with a cuppa and a kip.
And so it starts. The Confederates get their wagons to the boot-store barn and set up a defensive line which holds off the attacking Union army until the precious items are spirited away.
The war goes on.
The first picture made me laugh. I was have to say general tim certainly looks the part.
ReplyDeleteA chap should always wear the right hat.
ReplyDeleteI think its analogous to slipping a box in before marching out to the crease, but possibly these days supposed to be taken metaphorically.
ReplyDeleteGafzooks, sir, definitely metaphorical.
DeleteLooking good, well the figures anyway:P
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly the generals are a bit ancient but then, aren't we all.
DeleteWhat a cap can do with a person. Put him on a uniform and he's ready for the remake of Gettysburg! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice looking troops!
