The campaign administration became more and more time consuming, and I was spending more time keeping the stats up to date than wargaming.<br /><br />The advantage of these rules is that they are very easy to update and maintain, and there are real consequences for a corps that runs out of supply. When I put my campaign hat on I find that the first thing I look at is the number of supplies held by each corps. If one has been reduced to one day, or even two days, it has a real effect on what options I have.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-67618927102623422822019-08-04T04:46:46.898+02:002019-08-04T04:46:46.898+02:00Paul,

It must be nice to have a type of holiday which you know in advance you are going to enjoy, and which you do not have to spend weeks planning.<br /><br />We have never been attracted to a cruise. We prefer walking holidays. Usually we plan our own holidays, and have spent many such walking Napoleonic battlefields. But they do take a lot of planning and preparation.<br /><br />At one period we used to go on guided walking holidays in the UK. They were all based on a country house style holiday, with a choice of three walks each day. We did them for about ten years. The beauty of it was that you could explore an entirely new area without having to plan a single route. And always had lots in common with the other guests. I imagine that a cruise must be similar?<br /><br />Enjoy your holiday, and the apparently good weather in the UK when you get back<br /><br />best regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-34725853660384048672019-08-03T20:15:28.743+02:002019-08-03T20:15:28.743+02:00Paul,

(Unlike some cruisers, we like relaxing and reading on sea days.)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-21093002654235361292019-08-03T15:16:25.233+02:002019-08-03T15:16:25.233+02:00Hi Bob
Thanks for your comment
Glad to hear that...Hi Bob<br /><br />Thanks for your comment<br /><br />Glad to hear that you are enjoying it. It is just the highlights and some comments on this blog. If you want to follow the campaign in more detail you should have a look at the Campaign Diary blog here <br /><br />http://1813pbemcampaigndiary.blogspot.com.es/<br /><br />Sounds like you are on another cruise? We are in summer mode here in Spain. From June to September we have a summer routine which means avoiding much activity between 0900 and 2000. Fortunately the wargames room is the coolest in the house, so we get much more wargaming in during the summer than the rest of the year. You may have noticed I am posting twice a week to keep up.<br /><br />Hope you have a great cruise. I really envy you those cool sea breezes<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-20768542045960190192019-08-03T14:36:36.759+02:002019-08-03T14:36:36.759+02:00Paul,
