    "Chemlsford"?
    Bitter is the wind tonight,
    it stirs up the white-waved sea.
    I do not fear the coursing of the Irish sea
    by the fierce warriors of Lothlind.

    Hi, brilliant work with the units etc, but I just noticed in the Bromhead squadron and Chards Rorkes drift regiment in the description it says that they were overwhelmed and lost the battle. It corrects itself at the end. Also in both cards it states that Bromhead earned a Victoria Cross. Both Chard (commanding) and Bromhead (second in command) recieved one.
