I had a fine old time myself. Like Richie, I have some pics to download from
the trusty digicam, and throw together into a page. I’ll use Richie’s text
as the story, with suitable truly Prussian and truly untrue embellishments
;-)

It was indeed a great day. Thanks very much for the hospitality!
Here’s my post again, more or less, but now with added fuzzy photos. They are
clickable, but you’ll probably get the gist from the thumbnails.
It is worth noting that there is a tantalizing glimpse of PeteW’s latest
creation in the background of the French Artillery take the high ground pic.
It has been written that history is written by the victors, so it is fitting
that I post (or is that boast?) about the French victory in the Southern
Highlands.
The combined might of the Prussians, the Redcoats and the Northerners, despite a
healthy margin in brikwars points was no match for the glorious First and Second
Brigades of the Grand Armie of the South Pacifique who were able to safely inter
their fallen General in the grounds of the castle.
The Redcoat castle turned out to be the ancestral home of the Fallen French General.

| | Marshall Legeaux’s First Brigade emerged from the desert in the south, and immediately dispatched the cuiraisser squadron to engage the Prussians to the west, while the artillery took the high ground to the east, and the Pacifique Guard marched resolutely forward.
| | 
|
The cuirassers fell, but all but destroyed the Prussian cavalry, and severely depleted the infantry.
| | 
|
| | The Redcoats tried to desecrate the body of the fallen French General.
|
| | 
| | Marshall Lachlan’s second brigade, entered at double time from the east, engaging the northerners and the redcoats on two fronts, the Hussar’s tearing throught the northerners, and the Voltigeurs hitting the redcoats.
|
The Redcoats in the castle were eliminated by the Pacifique Guard in a display
of expert musketry.
| | The Prussian infantry made a valiant stand against the Pacifique Guard (who had mastered the art of tactical ‘reverse marching’), before the French Capitaine offered them favourable terms (throw down your weapons and go home).

Lessons will be learned from this battle. Fortune does favour the bold. And also
the well armoured. And those with lots of muskets.

I will post a date for a LEGO get-together/Brikwars day at Maraylya soon.
It
will be nice to return the hospitality and (hopefully) win a battle on
“homeground”.

Sounds cool. By then I may have made an heretical purchase or two to provide
a 1960s PLAF(VC) foe for the MB Air Cav...
|
Does indeed sound cool.
Cheers
