Of wall (again) and umpiring

-Sir, with all due respect to the Roman ingenuity, I don't think this two feet high wall will stop a foul-smelling rampaging horde of barbarians.
-Come on centurion, look at the size of my skirt, and I tell you this:  we were right to do this and trust me they will be so scared they'll grow hair everywhere.
-You mean they will turn into Scots?




Yesterday evening, I went to the club to host a game of Art de la guerre between two people who were interested by the rules, Richard and Jay. i brought my Chinese and Carthaginian armies, ready to play with. We really started at around 7.40PM and the game was over with a clear Chinese victory at 10.20PM. Yes, this is a fast game, even for beginners. And they were satisfied by the game. Though it's a I go you go system, and you use some pips, still the game runs smoothly. And the pics? Well, When en route to club I discovered I had forgotten it, sorry... But don't be mad at me, I'll give you some. Before leaving, I had time to do the highlights on the Roman wall. Now, I need to wash the wood, and I think it'll be done.






Hier soir, j'etais au club pour faire une initiation a Art de la guerre. Debut a 19h40 et fin a 22h20. Je trouve que c'est pas mal pour des debutants, surtout qu'il y a eu une victoire decisive des Chinois sur les Carthaginois. Les joueurs ont apprecie le systeme, et la vitesse de jeu. Donc c'est du tout bon, pari reussi. Petit probleme, pas de photos, car j'avais oublie mon APN. Argh. Pour compenser, voici l'etat d'avancement du mur romain, avec ses eclaircissements. Il manque encore, je pense, un petit lavis sur le bois et ce sera bon.
