As mentioned previously, this group has re-fought the battle twice previously, so the umpires will be throwing in a few 'what-ifs' this time around. To quote the organisers' briefing to players:
This year’s battle explores all the what ifs and what could have beens associated with the battle. So hindsight will only give you a guide as to what may happen. ... Do not expect the battle to follow the historical course. I have pages of what ifs, random events and possibilities...

Everything from the weather to interpersonal relationships between generals has come under scrutiny. All events will be diced for at the appropriate time.
Sounds intriguing doesn't it? Look out for links to the reportage of the game which commences on Thursday, 8th Jan.
