I started a thread over on the BoP forum.

I've been typing out accounts from the Battle in the lead up to today.

For anyone interested, it's here. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26021

I'll be adding to it over the next weeks.

@Dutch, nice post, Tom Neil is one of my heroes.

Seen that Tom Neil video before. Amazing, amazing man and wow, what a speech. Get his book, Gun Button to Fire. It's superb.
