Campaign PDF: Monrovia V Pelardon - The Siege of Fausignac


I've collated all the posts from the campaign shown on this blog (January to April 2013) and created a PDF.

This is available from here

I had some format/corruption problems with the master document so the generated PDF pagination has gone slightly off towards the end.

A short break .....

I've been on a holiday break to Sussex,  during which picked up this rather nice book in a charity shop
 and paid a visit to Petworth House
plus a visit to see Brighton Pavilion,
the interior is amazing - such opulence

---oXo---

Now I'm back preparations have started for the battle of Hofheim, currently setting up the gaming table scenery - one side of the table is set up to represent the Hofheim with its medieval walls.
