Colonial Barracks: NAMING NAMES...

Long ago, in the dim ages, I promised to list the exceptionally fine group of players who fought Maiwand Saturday out across the table in New Orleans. Recently, while unpacking books here in the new house, I found the list with their names on it, so without further ado, here goes:

BRITISH C-IN-C/INFANTRY C.O. - Jeff Baumal

BRITISH CAVALRY C.O. - Skylar Reiff

BRITISH BAGGAGE GUARD C.O. - Jim Flanagan

AFGHAN C-IN-C - Chick Lewis

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #1 - Donna Reeves

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #2 - James Zizo

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #3 - Robert Clark

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #4 - Bill Hamilton

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #5 - Dean Emmerson

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #6 - Henry Coll

AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER #7 - Chris Penney

ADDITIONAL AFGHAN SUB-COMMANDER - Nick Zizo

Jeff and the Zizos (father & son) came out from Florida, while Jim, Chris, and a couple of the other Afghan commanders flew down together from Maine. IMHO a finer collection of miniature wargamers would be impossible to find. They all tried hard to win, while simulaneously exhibiting honorable conduct, good-natured comraderie, and a generous spirit. Collectively they made all the effort to get the terrain and troops from LA to New Orleans worth while. My son and I really had a blast. Thanks guys -- and thank you, Donna!
