A very dear treasure of mine— I bought this book used at random of the internet, and received a touching momento from the author to a friend. #napoleon #napoleonic #tyrol #tyrolean #andeashofer

I really only prefer to play any tactical #napoleonic #wargame that includes facing and formations (e.g. square/line/column). Small minded? #HexesForever

Coming up! Our annual conference.

We are so fortunate to be able to feature Beatrice de Graaf, Andrew Field, Alexander Mikaberidze and Everett Rummage (Age of Napoleon) as they each profile important figures from the Napoleonic era who may not be as well known as they should.

#SubterraneanSaturday

Missed yesterday as there were just too many choices, my procrastinating got the better of me.

So, here's the #WellTunnel in the #DetachedBastion at the #WesternHeights #Dover

An area high up on the#WhiteCliffs of Dover famous for it's #Napoleonic #Wartime structures.

Lit from the other end by my best friend, it's one of my personal favourites.
