What battle am I thinking of playing next? The clue is on the title. I’ll be mightily impressed if you get it.
Amtmann (Andre) might get it.
The prize will either be a guide to the ECW or AWI. Your choice. You have to be quick though. I hope to play the game tomorrow.
The ‘66 World Cup final?
ReplyDeleteNot much of a clue, for sure. Given the reference, put me down for an obscure battle. How about battle of Zsibo 1705?
ReplyDeleteA nice teaser! Well, I admit to cheating by putting the title into a well-known search engine, giving this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenore_(ballad) - see the 'synopsis' section. So, is it Prague?
ReplyDeleteI will also admit my first thought was actaully of 80s German punk band 'Die Toten Hosen' ( Dead Trousers'? ) - surely one of the finest rock band names?
Well that was easy 😆. Well done David. ECW or AWI?
DeleteI came across the poem, or a reference to it in the Wiki entry on Prague. I was led there by the Wars of Louis Quatorze the other day.
The hard part is going to be deciding on the scenario. At what point do I start the clock on the battle?
Congratulations, David!
DeleteWithout checking, my high school German suggest "The dead ride quickly" ?? Look forward to seeing the game!
ReplyDeleteHope the game went well!
