I uploaded my pics to my Picasa web page, then viewed them as a slideshow, then click the link on the right to " link this album", then clicked "embed slideshow". You are then given a few option as to how big you want the link and are given some text to copy and paste on your blogpost....easy!!! But??? Picasa is closing soon and I can't find the similar links on my Google+ page, so I'm not sure if I can do it again.<br />Hope this helps!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-68882931150844902342012-04-04T07:28:22.062+01:002012-04-04T07:28:22.062+01:00During the first 4 turns of the game, when the cur...During the first 4 turns of the game, when the curtain was down, there was thick fog, we knew the enemy was somewhere to the front and had to advance. Each turn, the leading unit in each brigade had to throw a D6, then move 6 inches in the direction thrown ie a 3 or 4 meant straight ahead, while a 6 meant they veered of to the right. This gave the effect of getting lost in the fog and worked very well. Postie then threw a die each turn for the fog to lift, which it did on turn 4, otherwise as soon as a unit hit the curtain it would then lift.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-24703310741340089102012-04-04T07:22:44.321+01:002012-04-04T07:22:44.321+01:00There was a "oh for Gods sake!!" moment!...There was a "oh for Gods sake!!" moment!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-81823901797827423612012-04-04T07:21:56.516+01:002012-04-04T07:21:56.516+01:00Its different to my usual reports, although I coul...Its different to my usual reports, although I couldn't put all the info onto the pictures that I'd like to have done, but I think it worked!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-53548231205491600342012-04-04T07:19:49.139+01:002012-04-04T07:19:49.139+01:00We use Posties own version of General de Brigade, ...We use Posties own version of General de Brigade, he's simplified some of the basics and added his own bits and bibs to them.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-57934047713972277132012-04-04T07:18:15.219+01:002012-04-04T07:18:15.219+01:00Some good ideas WR, I'll pass these ideas on t...Some good ideas WR, I'll pass these ideas on to Postie.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-48741614621962211142012-04-04T07:16:40.562+01:002012-04-04T07:16:40.562+01:00No probs, I enjoyed doing it this way, it made a c...No probs, I enjoyed doing it this way, it made a change.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-7137756818451952282012-04-04T07:16:08.788+01:002012-04-04T07:16:08.788+01:00Chris, we use Posties own version of General de Br...Chris, we use Posties own version of General de Brigade.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.com
