Our first event at King's Crossing presented the attendees with a challenging tactical situation--a very broad, flat NML, with plenty of daylight and no cover. Conditions did not allow for the use of smoke or any pyrotechnics.
The Entente forces made use of some very innovative tactics, executed with with élan and style, but were no avail against the MGs of the Central Powers. Likewise, die Mittelmächte could make no progress against the disciplined fire of the Allies.
Most importantly, there was a very important meeting with all present to discuss the future of the GWHS, but I will leave that to another thread.
Kudos to La Légion Russe--they had the best turnout, an outstanding period campsite and it was quite evident that they have all been working very hard on their impressions. As we have come to expect, they showed their enthusiasm and tenacity on the battlefield. Молодцы, товарищи!
Hats off to Patrick Hernandez, who made the long haul from Albuquerque. We also welcomed Taisho Ohara to his fist GWHS event, and the revivified 2nd Chevauleger.
Adam Lid was presented with the Criox de Guerre for his service as Allied Commander (which he incongruously accepted in his Bavarian uniform). Adam Matthews received the Karl Truppen-Kreuz in recognition of services rendered to his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty and K.u.K. IR 61. Lisa Matthews was likewise awarded the Esernes Verdienstkreuz am zivilband.
