I've just finished these chaps...having had them 75% done for about the last 2 years :oops: They represent the 2 Troops of Lifeguards and the Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards. http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr55/xhequimunqui/Lifeguard1.jpg http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr55/xhequimunqui/Life...

I love the story about the Scottish roadie going round a French market trying to find a vegetable vendor who speaks English.

Yes please. Stick me down for Dumfries. I finally managed to confirm the necessary shift swaps.

I was going to mention my homage to Toggy. Glad someone spotted it first

A wee spot of thread-nomancy here, but this weekend I thought the commanded shot rules modifications worked extremely well. Basically they could not claim the First Volley bonus, nor the All Musket bonus. This seemed to make them much more reasonable. A nuisance that had to be dealt with but not the...

Good times. I dropped Bill off just after 8pm and was home myself sometime between 8.30 and 9pm. Slept for a very long time then went into night-shift last night. That was a bit of a slog :roll: Anyway, it was great to see everyone that could make it and those that couldn't were missed. Looking forw...
