Oh don't feel bad Ginger... I am used to the slings and arrows coming out of those two old Ballistas.

The East Coast one is a bit mixed up.. anti-French, Pro-Russian, Imperialist-Bolshevik, Jacobite leaning Rangers fan with a dislike of fantasy gaming but with more fantasy models and terrain than GW. He has a penchant for social disorder and challenging the authorities but looks like a schoolteacher and works with the elderly and infirm.... in other words.. he doesn't know if he's coming or going.

The other one from the Deep South (could be construed as from the Far North if you lived in Kent)... Now , he was a bank manager by day but by night a crusading member of the Sons of the South with a poster of J.S. Chamberlain pinned secretly beneath his Southern Cross and antler porch decor. He has an addiction to Texas and all things American and a tattoo of the 'Chancer' Marlbrook on his cheek (but which of the four?).. he also owns a huge WSS French Army.... deduce from that what you will Watson!

Oh yes..... I've got their numbers! :lol:

Apart for all that, they are OK blokes (when not speaking) :wink:

Anti-French, Moi!??? :shock:
I've lost count of how many French armies I've had over the years, and still have loads, in fact my Napoleonic Frogs took part in a great victory tonight although I have to admit that the brigade was made up of Poles and Saxons. Gunter would have been proud of the Saxons as their battalion wiped out two british battalions and an artillery battery without losing a single casualty then the whole brigade made a stunning flanking manouvere to skirt past the British battle line to cut their line of retreat.
