“On
the 27th in the morning the troops quitted Danbury, and met with
little opposition until they came near to Ridgefield, which was
occupied by Gen. Arnold.”

It’s
summertime, which means I give myself a little indulgence to miss a
week’s posting or two, or three (as evidenced by my blog archive in
the sidebar). Sometimes I just need time to recharge, as many of us
do in the summer months. Other times we’re so busy with various
activities I don’t have time for thoughtful reflection and writing
about adventure game hobby issues. Yet I still manage to find some
inspiration, whether through rest or exploration, I can channel into
Hobby Games Recce. We recently returned from a trip visiting family
and friends in New England, including a stop at my favorite
independent bookshop,
Books on the Common in Ridgefield, CT, where I
picked up the most recent book about
my hometown’s RevolutionaryWar battle; inspiration for my wargaming exploration of this small
yet influential engagement.
