The prize is a copy of Pete Morbey's book on Napoleonic armies in wargames. In my haste to buy it I ordered two by accident so I have a spare copy for the winning caption. Pete Morbey owns Elite Miniatures and his book is stuffed full of pictures of his collection as well as painting tutorials and notes on building Napoleonic wargames armies. An enjoyable read if not ground breaking in content.
The Grand Prize
Below are two images showing contemporary Napoleonic cartoons. The first is innocent enough, the second is very crude even by today's standards so you have been warned. To enter simply post a caption on either in the comments below noting which you have captioned, A or B. Enter as many times as you like. The Marauders will decide on a winner and once we have an address the book will be posted to you to enjoy.
This is supposed to be fun so get your creative juices flowing.
Entries will close at midnight on Saturday 30th November (UK time).

Best wishes,

A - As on lookers gather, Napoleon recites why he lost the battle of Waterloo..
ReplyDelete"And then Ney, sweet Jesus, Ney... He launched an all out cavalry attack without the support of infantry and artillery. Who does this? This is why I can't leave the field of battle for more than 5 minutes.."
