No Saturday Afternoon Wargames for a while!

Those of you who are familiar with Stately Counterpane Manor will be surprised to see the current state of our usual Saturday Afternoon Wargames venue:


The kitchen floor has shown signs of movement (tiles cracking) for a while. We're having the previous arrangement, half suspended floor and half solid, replaced with a solid floor throughout and with underfloor heating. In the meantime it's sandwiches and instant noodles I guess.

Blimey!!

It was somewhat concerning when the guys found two areas of soft earth under the old floor that contained voids. With the building being a former chapel I was obviously concerned about finding bodies but we're now pretty sure it was the trenches dug by bricklayers putting down the footings for a long-lost outbuilding.

Its not an old native American burial ground is it? You know what happens when you build on top of those! 🤣😂

Much obliged for the lifts today, thank you! Another good showing from the Cold War Commanders today, well done on such an interesting scenario.

Thanks Neil. No problem at all providing the transport.
