Barry et al, Yes, it was the right Walcourt - a straggling village, built on the side of a river, with a bloody steep wooded hill behind it! It looked more like somewhere in the Ardennes than in northern France, but its the right place alright! The town itself must have been pretty difficult to atta...

Gentlemen, Malplakkers is a jolly big battle, and it'll take a bit of forethought and planning to get all the right kit onto the table, and in the right place. We'll be posting a few messages over the next few weeks, in an effort to make up in planning what we might lack in forethought! The first st...

Dave,

Very witty, and particularly rich for someone who'se been in a purple haze since the 60's...

Gentlemen, Another enjoyable weekend, even though Barry took a very jaundiced view of the abilities of the RAF, the USAF and US Corps Artillery! My highlights were Andrew's delight when he discovered he could shoot at his brother across 18 feet of table, and Dale's two-man squad, skulking in a cella...

Peter, I have Pandies - quite a lot of them. My pal Chris Henry did the British, which now reside in Perth. I'll hand over a full list of Mutineers next weekend, or better still you can look it up yourself, on: http://www.edinburghwargames.com/Indian%20Mutineers.htm Best Wishes, The Khazi of Calibar

Barry, I have a dozen or so buildings suitable for 28mm, but they're all old-fashioned timber-frame jobs - suitable for Europe in the 18-19th century, or England during the ECW, but probably not ideal for the streets of Aachen (or wherever you want to recreate). They're all from PMC - you know the s...

Dale,

Where would a LoGW battle be without you? After all, the French CinC needs somebody to court martial when it all goes horribly wrong...
Marlburian is indeed a period, just like "Napoleonic". It doesn't even need inverted commas, to show dissaproval of Imperial pretentions!

Best,

Angus

Dave: I'd prefer it if you can figure out what you'll have after re-basing.
Thanks.

Peter N: Unfortunately the Russians aren't involved in this one, but the main thing is that you and Andrew bring yourselves...

Pip Pip,

Angus

Barry,

Crikey - that's a splendid start!

Of course, you don't have to be an umpire - after all, the rules should be straightforward enough for the rest of us to follow. Therefore you can always cast yourself as Jaffa, Prince of Oranges, or the Master of Camp...

Pip Pip,

Angus

Gentlemen, Now that the enforced jolity of the New Year is behind us, and dour, rain-laden January is in full flow, the time has come to plan future campaigns. To that end, gentlemen, it would be useful if you could say what lead (if any) you'll be able to field for the Maplaquet game in June. Eithe...

Chaps, I plan to attend, and so too does my 28mm contingent of the Irish Guards ; I have a reinforced platoon (about 40 figures) incl. 6-pdr., Vickers MMG, 3-inch Mortar etc., in M3 Halftracks and Universal Carriers, plus three Shermans (including a Firefly), and a Humber a/c. Oh, and naturally I ha...

Bob, old chap, What about Dykehead - now the Royal Jubilee Arms? Too far out of town? I haven't been there since my grandparents' golden (?) wedding bash in the 70's, but as I recall it had the space, and would probably relish the off-season clientele. Besides, its only about five miles from Kirrie,...

From the pictures it looks like the restaurant was gutted, and it spread up to the triple room where Colin, Dave & I stayed last time. According to my Mum (who heard it on the news) it was indeed an electrical problem that started it all, and the paper claimed it began in a basement. So far the loca...

That's ghastly. As soon as someone learns more, please post the skinny.

It sounds like someone forgot to pay Dale his protection money...

Angus

Thanks, Chaps. That e-mail worked, and Grahame Black (Mr. GMB) got in touch. Yup, in my view he does the best flags around, and for a range of periods, including SYW, AWI, Napoleonic, ACW, ECW and HYW. It gets a little confusing, as he has no website, although Bicorne sell his ECW flags direct. I've...
