Summer Intermission

Its the height of summer, a hot time, a family time, and not much hobby stuff going on to feed the blog but there are nearly 2,000 posts published over the last 10 years  so time to bring a few back for a look.

I'll start with the Raid on St. Michel from 2010 when the blog was new. Rob and I had decided that for the HAWKS room at Cold Wars 2010, we would play through the scenarios from Charles Grant's recently released "Raid on St. Michel" using the HAWKS' collection of homecast 18thC troops, set during the Not Quite The Seven Years War (NQSYW). Rob and I acted as Impartial (or balanced bias) game masters with convention gamers signing up to play the battles helped out by some of the HAWKS where there was space.
The posts can be pulled up by clicking on the Raid on St. Michel label but they come up starting with the end so here are separate links in the proper order.
