The church bells ring in Moscow
When in Alaska I decided I was not getting to Jim's place enough. So headed down for some 'Hail Whomever' action.
A fictitious scenario. Napoleonics -- French vs Russian. French (Jim, Mark, Chris) had 3 small divisions of infantry and a division of guard cavalry. Russians (me, Mike, Steve), had 3 large infantry divisions and some crap cavalry.
In the end, the crap Russian cavalry died to the French Guard cavalry, but they went down fighting. One Russian division died fighting a French division in an orchard, but mauled the French. My division sat in the middle and did nothing. And Steve's division managed to create an angle and maul a French division for no loss.
End result -- The French destroyed 2 Russian divisions for the loss of 1. But the Russians held the field. So both sides claim victory.
