Jan and I have just returned from two weeks in the UK with
our grandchildren for Christmas and New Year.
In previous years the PBEM campaign continued through the
holidays, and I always took a laptop to update the campaign. This year the campaign is in its final
stages. The last orders have been
received and processed. Four of the
five campaign areas have been completed, leaving just Wellington v Soult to
complete.
Wellington has one final battle to fight, and in the next
few days I will be setting up the last wargame of the campaign.
There are still about 15 blog entries to be posted on the
campaign diary blog. Only three of
those have still be written, and must wait for the result of the final battle.
So for the first time in six years I have been completely
wargame free for two whole weeks. It
seemed very strange at first, but I soon got used to it.
Having returned home I am now catching up on the
campaign. Just posed the final diary
entry for the campaign in southern Spain.
The Spanish won this final phase.
In 1813 there was not much difference in quality between the Spanish and
French armies in the Peninsula, so this is not such an unexpected result.
Over the coming weeks I will completing the campaign diary
blog, and will then start work on the new solo campaign.
You can find the 1813 PBEM campaign diary here
Happy New Year to all, both those who have followed my
ramblings over the years and to any new reader who just discovered this blog.
