I thoroughly enjoyed setting the game up and fighting it and at the time I was keen to do more of the same but other stuff got in the way.<br /><br />The Settee Empire? That sounds good at least sofa anyway….<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-63466805703444921492022-06-20T17:36:52.129+01:002022-06-20T17:36:52.129+01:00David -

Sounds like a great campaign for my armies of the Settee Empire and the Tsardom of Izumrud-Zelenii... Obscure little wars like this, despite the horrors that characterized their fringes, can be interesting in themselves, and fruitful of war gaming potential.<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-14447575478510417202012-12-27T07:28:02.830+00:002012-12-27T07:28:02.830+00:00Hi Martin,

He is much improved although still has no feeling on one side of his face. the good news though is that he police are looking to make an arrest before the end of the year!<br /><br />The RTW is fast becoming a mainline interest for me and the Caucasus is one of those of the theatres that appeals to my liking for the obscure or off the wall!<br /><br />The battle will be fought over the weekend and will feature as the last game of 2012.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-52262495880775300192012-12-27T07:24:18.697+00:002012-12-27T07:24:18.697+00:00Hi Bob,
