Malburians and The Battle of Arracourt, 18th January 2010

On 18th January 2010 the Austrians and British fought it out in a large scale battle on our big table downstairs. The battle was fought in the Malburian period. Funny, you say I thought it was 2010.

Mark Alcock was the English and Andy Hamilton was the Austrians.

A close up of some of Andy Hamilton's fantastic looking Austrians. I am also using this photo for my blogger profile at the moment.

The English won this game eventually.
