a portion of the battlefield
Ages past a good friend of mine, Jon Williams, painted simply mountains of 15mm Medieval figures. We spent many happy hours gaming with them over the years. About ten years ago Jon passed away leaving me his collection of figures. Each year, around his birthday, I try to ensure that his figures get out and get used in a big battle. This year's game reflected an English Chevauchee gone awry and being cornered by a bevy of angry Frenchmen. Things didn't go so well for the English........Shakespeare won't be writing a play about Henry the Fifth, it seems.
Here's to you "Little Jon"! We miss you.
A great way to remember a good friend. Plus very fine tribune.
