Incident at Brioche

As Winter approached, General Douglas decided to march the Cyprus Hills Column to the trading post at Brioche to collect the stockpile of supplies that were supposed to be waiting there. 

As the column approached Brioche, scouts came galloping back signalling enemy in sight. They reported that Metis and Indian Warriors could be seen barricading the trading post and digging rifle pits.

"Well boys, looks  like Pere Corbeau has your rum and biscuits. Lets go get them back!"

  7. Ross Mac,

    You can keep the rum (I used to love it, but alcohol doesn't like me!) but the biscuits are another matter! Anyone who has taken control of my supply of chocolate digestive biscuits will suffer!

    Seriously, the scenario looks interesting and it is nice to see your bigger chaps on the tabletop again.

    All the best,

    Bob

  8. Great stuff as ever Ross, love those big figures. I always admire your never ending enthusiasm for this wonderful hobby, if you could bottle it and sell it I would be your first customer :) As for Rum, I had an unforgettable experience with the stuff on my first Christmas at work as an 18 year old apprentice, how I made it home from central London that day I still don't know!
