Dave,

I never read the small print. I suggest that next time you write clearly, label clearly and don't let Captain Nolan improvise when he gets there...!

Dave No, damn your impertinence - I wasn't drunk - It was just that your post was rather confusing! You didn't actually say which game you planned to invite Jack to, although your post cited the potential absence of several "gentlemen", which implies the summer game. As I thought nobody actually car...

Dave,

Jack would be an excellent chap to make up numbers, although I suspect he'd be a natural French commander, and therefore not a proper gentleman.

Pip Pip,

Ligny

Dear All, Sharnydubs: You might feel you're not a total anorak, but ... :lol: I concur with Peter - an excellent game, a beautiful Ligny, and convivial company. I tip my hat to Adrian for his unbiased umpiring, to Barry and Kevin for providing such great rules, and to Dale for his inspiring leadersh...

Some of us will probably still be up at 5am if they keep the bar open!

BTW, I hope Andrew Nicholson is coming on as reinforcements. The chance for wisecracks about "the late Mr. Nicholson" is just too good to miss.. :twisted:

So, ma wee Sun King, Does this mean they'll hit the streets some time before the next anniversary of the battle? That means there's hope yet that; Those brave men who crossed the Boyne have not fought or died in vain, Our Unity, Religion, Laws, and Freedom to maintain... etc. etc ... Pip Pip, Wullie...

Barry,

Of course, changing the name is purely an academic excercise if the bloody things never come out... do we have a release date yet? :twisted:

No Surrender

Dear Barry et al, As I'm not officially a member of the LoGW but just a hanger-on, then I'd need to be invited along by someone! However, if I was :lol: , here's what I could bring: Oh, technically I don't have any Marlburian figures, only "1690" ones. They're all based up (near as dammit) to fit wi...

Gentlemen, I think Dave Brown's rules are excellent. We play them regularly in both 15mm and 20mm, and they keep both the died-in-the-wool WW2 enthuisiasts happy, as well as guys like me who dabble in the period as a break from other earlier ones. Give 'em a try. My website has downloadable playshee...

Barry, Don't..... By the way, I haven't played "Rapid Fire" for years, and I've never sullied my hands with a copy of "Warhamster 40K". In fact I think fantasy players should all be taken out and neckshot - after getting them a good steam cleaning first. Next to 15mm DBM players, they're the lowest ...

Barry et al, Well, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks for the weekend. While I'm not overly fond of 15mm, the D-Day game looked good, and flowed well. I was also impressed with Gary's umpiring, whose patience in the face of shameful intimidation from the "sharnydubs" contingent was nothing short of...

1/1200 ships

Gentlemen, I was recently contacted by Jim Prentice from Motherwell near Glasgow, who's selling a fantastic 1/1200 scale scratchbuilt model warship collection. they belonged to a modeller friend who died recently, and Jim is helping to sell them on behalf of the widow. They range from pre-dreadnough...

Gonzo old chap, I've no real idea, except they had enough to pretty well cover a 6x4 table! The units were based up for General de Brigade, which means 30-40 man units for the foot, and 24 and upwards for the horse. It was very spectacular, and has rewakened my interest in the period. I'll e-mail Da...

The Nazi Salute

Barry, I'm sorry I missed you - but only because you didn't make it to the pub. I've dubbed this years show " The Nazi Salute ". Somehow it seemed appropriate. As Donald Featherstone said, those SS "re-enactors" gave him cold shivers down his spine. Then there were the children, decked out in their ...
