He hits my h pawn.

Queen comes back too

Another waiting move

 
26. h4
Onward Christian soldiers!

 
26... Qf8
Even the queen comes over!

 
27. h5
On again!

 
27... Bc8
Still waiting.

 
28. Qc3
With thoughts of switching to the queen side. Also an immediate h5-h6 drops the pawn to Rxh6 and I can't recapture without losing my queen, if it is still on g3.
