Images of the Lake George Tactical

Thanks to Dubois for sending these photos of the Lake George event which takes place every year in the autumn in Upstate New York. On the top picture I am on the right (in 1999) with the small paddle! It is a free form wargame that is on land among the trees and rocks and on water with canoes and bateaux. It's a perfect way to enjoy and appreciate the terrain which was the backdrop to the skirmishes of the F&I war.
