What I've tried to do instead is create a general impression, with just the odd general shot for orientation.Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-5013198227087311852018-05-18T16:56:28.198+12:002018-05-18T16:56:28.198+12:00What a wonderful battle.

Muskets & Marhsals performed billiantly, by the way.
