Business as usual

Incomming SMS, Rense: Andre, can you bring a game with you to Frank? I did consider it but today I also had two Casus Belli members who had asked if they could come along. So I did not take a game with me, not to spoil their visit to Frank. First thing that Frank asks after the chearfull hello's is if I know a good game we could play. Do I smell a conspirasy here? Anyway, we settled on a game for tomorrow evening. So tomorrow it is on again. Look for Frank and hit, most likely to discover OMG, Frank is hitting back! Spectators are welcome, ticket sale is open at Franks bed, betting and cursing during game time is strictly prohibited. Sadly, so is a good glass of port.

But for this visit Frank was enjoying books about the roman army that Mathieu did bring. Frank was pricing the books as excelent! and I know they are. I have seen one or two of them about a year ago and then Franks comment was exactly the same. After the normal initial pause Frank requested for the Time Commanders, battle of Bibracte, Julius Caesar against the Helvetii. Frank was remembering some fight he had leading the Belgae against another honnerary club member, who was Caesar, and that he did manage to smash Caesars army to pieces. Just to find out that Caesar had split his army in half, afterwhich the Belgae were completely whiped out! Who said that Caesar did fight a fair fight? But that is another story

We enjoyed the Time commanders, all four of us, and were having conversations in English, German and Dutch at times and Frank mixing up the names of Berry and Robert, as usual. It was a visit as usual and it left me longing for tomorrow.
