Derrick was a fixture of TravCon. I drank with him many times until the early hours of the morning. And then ran games a few hours later. Although I never spent a great deal of time with him I always considered him a good friend.

And my 2nd game of CoC² last night. Yes, it's that good. This time a Soviet plt defending against a German plt in the Attack on an Objective mission. Held off the German attack on the objective but my forces were starting to take heavy casualties. Another great game. #Wargaming #SpreadtheLard #DWG

And my first game of CoC². Soviet platoon defends against a German platoon in the Probe mission. Excellent update to the rules. Top notch stuff. And I won. 😉 #wargaming #SpreadtheLard

With the launch of pre-orders for Chain of Command 2 I thought it's appropriate to skeet this photo. My first game of Chain of Command, 24th March 2014. I've had a bundle of grand games, even when getting the snot knocked out of my side. Money well spent. #SpreadtheLard #Wargaming
