Hi Brian,
Yes, still short of Prussians. If you are able to paint some up and bring the other figures you mentioned that would be outstanding.
Thanks
Antony

Antony, With apologies to you and everyone else l am going to withdraw at this stage from the Northern Event. I do not need the stress of wondering and worrying if the trains will be running or not. I am more than happy to post my French figures down if it would help. Sorry Alan

Sorry to hear that Alan. We'll miss your company and input into the games. Best Wishes Dave

We might get to meet in March next year. Your French troops still being part of the weekend is very appealing but I would not want you to go to the expense of posting them. All the best, Antony

Looks great Anthony. I'm in for that. Just one comment. I'm presuming we'll be finishing the games about 5ish at the latest. That leaves 2 and a half hours to hang around -- is that too long? Unless we'll he spending time afte⁸r the games setting up for the Sunday? Just a thought?

The plan would be to set-up the table for the following day's big battle and then walk down to the pub. I can book a table for 19:00hrs.

I've been looking for news of further disruption to rail travel but there's no update at present. National rail enquiries are listing trains for that weekend but that's no guarantee. So I regret to say that my attendance is still only 'possible' for the moment.
If I can attened I'll likely stay at the Travelodge. I may still be blocked from booking at Premier Inn becuase when I stayed at their Sheffield site in July 2022 I complained about the breakfast arrangements (a hotel full and they only had two staff on who were running back and forth and having to put up with stroppy guests. I was crtitical of the management indulging in the currently fashionable race to the bottom in regard of customer service)
I have slapped some paint onto some spare figures so that the Grand Duchy of Grumbleburg will be able to send two infantry, one cavalry and one artillery units to join the 'Not British' side of Sunday's game. I need to check but should have the same for the 'British' side. Being all plastic I should be able to bring those units and the kit for the 'Star Spangled Army invades Maple Leaf County' game. As Alan has had to cancel it would be good to know if anyone is interested in playing / not interested but willing to join in Brian
