Eve of Battle!


Hannibal and Scipio parley on the battlefield of Zama, on the day before the battle.

Tomorrow at the crack of dawn, Muswell Militia and various associated malcontents will be driving up to the SOA Battle Day event in Bletchley to fight our version of Zama.  Hannibal has won every practice battle; but I have a feeling in my waters that Scipio will pip it on the day...

Hope to see some of you there!

    You won't see me for sure, but having followed the whole project for so long makes me feel I'll be a little bit there. Best of luck and please take a boatload of pics!

    It will be a sight to behold. Please take lots of photos to share with those of us living vicariously through the blog from over the pond.

    Just think of all the free time your going to have after Salute. I bet the other half will have you doing all those little jobs around the house that have been put on hold these last few months!
    All the best mate and a big huzza for Scipio. Cheers Paul

    All the best with the big game day. I've been following your postings with great interest and you are a role model for a project of mine which I will be developing also with an accompanying blog site.
