ReplyDelete@The Angry Lurker ... any day with can hang out with friends and play Flames of War is an awesome day
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Joe, and I bet you were on of those three German wins, right?
ReplyDeleteSo what makes a "best losing general"?
@ Mik ... Unfortunately Dirty Jon and I was one of the draws and lost the other. But it was good fun.
DeleteThe best losing general I believe was on the losing side but scored well.
