Those of you who've been paying attention will no doubt have realised that an earlier post was part two of a series (i know, you were too polite to mention it), and at last we have part one.
Incidentally, you have to feel sorry for the Prussians (John Tilson and friends), John writes:
'I remember waiting,as Blucher,all one weekend desperately trying to get
my Prussians on ... needed a six and only
succeded on the penultimate move so you can imagine the impact I had on
the game.'
I hope you brought a good book John...
