Do'nt know about yobs but wee neds is a distinctly Scottish term of 'endearment' the english press seem to be using chavs and filth (although I always thought that was for the met)

Yes Barry, i am alive! Even in darkest Brum, if you can call it that! You'd know all about that with your Acocks Green visits.............The only thing that keeps you going are the great Balti's!

I've been kept busy with all the doings at my lovely public sector s**t recycling factory.

But when not, i've gone all Colonial again and been venturing into the Sudan. Trying to emulate the Gilder stuff. That's alot of Fuzzies.

Also been dabbling with Punic Wars again. Deja Vu i think.

Good to see the Napoleonic's getting better and better. 2nd Dragoons? Good choice. Hadn't seen an emeny since 1794 so at Waterloo went all Glasgow on a Saturday night.
Well the Saturday night's i remember!

Looking forward to the revival of your Crimean stuff. Haven't seen that since that photo session.

One of Paul's command vignettes? I'm intrigued.

A Napoleonic one? Tell me more.

I've been using Paul's French Napoleonic's at the SODS recently. They are great painted figures. And nice they see the light of day.

No it was a Crimean vignette. He left me holding the fort and trying to sort out his fault deployment and disappeared for ages then came back beaming like a Cheshire Cat with some toys he picked up from Dave Thomas. :roll:

A Crimean vignette? Painted in 1997? I'm even more intrigued. I'd love to see this Barry. Never knew Paul was painting Crimean in 97'.

I'm not surprised you ran off leaving someone else holding the line.

I seem to remember a Blenheim refight where i was given lot's of troops with a general not able to move them.

I've never ever filled box files with casualty figures so fast!

Let me know more about the vignette please Barry, or even send me a photo.
