Fred makes an excellent point about the end of battle bugle call. Battles at events are normally isolated blocks that do not affect the whole. This will be different - a flow of time that builds. Having to run the company with missing comrades - the constant attrition due to combat and sickness is a good exercise!

1st Sgt Fred - can you check with the bosses (Rob W and Fred Y) and find out if they need more info on the 15th (such as casualties)? Did not receive a reply from Rob but know he is very busy right now.
