Could it be really some 38 years ago that I first discovered this kind of pic (in 'The War Game' -read 'Charge!' only later) and was definitively 'hooked' -though they were far less of eye-candy?
Thanks for the display!
I have only just seen this and the previous post- inspirational stuff!

"a battle report will soon follow.": no report can be unbiased. Thus, what about two AAR, one from the point of view of one side, and posted on the corresponding blog? A golden opportunity to revive them and present the updated OOB / army parade of each of the two armies?
Staying tuned, sure!
Cheers,
Jean-Louis
I wish that my troops looked as good, sir.
