RépondreSupprimerLivestock seems to be appreciated! Thanks for visiting and for your kind words Anne...
SupprimerHaving only recently watched the last episode of the latest season of 'Vikings', I had to smile when I saw the subject of the latest AAR - though I think your version is much closer to the historical reality!
RépondreSupprimerA mighty struggle, with much loss to both sides, but the Vikings are finally repulsed. However, the question remains, will the villainous Comte Benoit return to make another play for power...?
Lol! In fact he is bannished from our club for about...one week! Many thanks for your kind words, although I have to say to you : "no word about the latest season of Vickings, I record it, no time to wathch it now!"...
SupprimerLovely figures and a great report.

RépondreSupprimerCute, aren't they Dezmond? Glad you enjoyed!
SupprimerIf only those sheep could carry some form of explosives. What a surprise to the enemy that would be.
RépondreSupprimerA brilliant idea! May be in the next battle! Thanks a lot...
SupprimerQuel bataille bouleversante après avoir reçu la visite de ces terribles Vikings - pauvres Carolingiens. Mais quand-meme bien battu. Très belle histoire, Phil, ravi par tes idées comme toujours..
RépondreSupprimerPeter
C'est très gentil de ta part Peter, merci beaucoup...la revanche est pour bientôt!
SupprimerWonderful story telling as always Phil, dont you ever change your style of aar I would be devastated. At least the church recovered some of the looted goodies before the Vikings made off in their long boats. Of course the surviving vikings will probably be happy as there are less men to share the spoils and of course less space in Valhalla's great hall with all the new additions.
RépondreSupprimerYou were a bit harsh on the Raven at the end Old mate ;-)
He suffered the fate of some birds with my veranda ...I am very touched by all these compliments, it's not always easy to find new ideas, and it's very nice to see that someone liked them!
SupprimerA big thank you Dave!
Spoils of war for the Vikings. Superb collection and report once again.
RépondreSupprimerGlad you enjoyed, many thanks!
SupprimerLovely report Phil, with lots of eye candy!
