Always A Busy Time of Year...

This blog has been quiet for a while now, due a very busy month.  I had 120 first year stats exams to mark this week.  That's been completed and the marks entered, and it's basically all over but for the crying.  Next week I have an ActSci course writing an exam, but there's only 16 students and their papers will be much easier to grade.  Oh yeah and Christmas is around the corner, with my mother in law due in the middle of next week.

Last week Curt put on a Napoleonic game using Fast Play Grande Armee and using 6mm troops, which I have to say I greatly enjoyed.  This was my first game with FPGA (or any of Sam Mustafa's games) and I will be playing a more.  I am still not  fan of 6mm troops (no comments on my decreasing vision), but the game was good.  Sylvain and I were the French a British force on the retreat to Corunna.  It was a close run thing but we beat Stacy's brits.
