An updated photo of the gepanzerte panzergrenadier company. I think that I am still one Sdfkz 251/1 short though…

Britannia interruptus

December 15th, 2009

A great game of Britannia with David, Peter and Iain last night (or rather the first half of a great game – we didn’t get time to finish). Anyway – here are the photos I took of the board so that we can set it back up again to finish the game some time:

Showing the population ladder but all the armies in Scotland are not spread out.

And again:

This time showing the armies in Scotland properly but not the population ladder.

I’m yellow – yes that’s the one with only 4 territories. I had a bit of a mare with the Romans but hopefully I got enough points to keep me in the running if I do OK with the Norwegians and the Dubliners.

Green (David) is currently in the lead due to a very strong performance from the Welsh, helped by the Saxons having had a bit of a hard time from the Romans when they first arrived.

Prima Donna

Had our office Christmas party last night – black tie bash in a London hotel. Frankie Boyle was supposed to be the compere/comic turn, but what a train wreck. He came on, moaned a bit about people blowing kazoos and then when someone let off one of those balloon things that whizz around the room, he stormed off the stage not having even completed one joke. Last year we had Cheggers and he could cope with people waving iPhones with pictures of his todger at him. Frankie couldn’t even cope with a room of 400 slightly drunk people having a good time. It turns out that Orbis is harder than Frankie Boyle.

Cheggers for next year…
