Gentlemen,

This appeared in the East Fife Mail on 28th April,2010 and shows a great collection of well-proportioned wargaming figures...

...the model soldiers don't look too bad either.

Photo taken by Peter Doig.

From left to right: Paul, Peter, Dave I, Dave O, Jim, Bob, Chris, Barry, Ray and Callum.

Inset top right: A minor side-show that took place at the same venue and time.

Gentlemen,

An extract of the important part of the image for your scrapbooks*.

Photo taken by Peter Doig.

Jim

*I think the word Scrapbook is apt when used to describe a wargame journal.

Thanks for posting that Jim.
How come the three baldies all ended up together?

Cheers

Oh dear Lord! Every time I have my photo taken the photographer invariably snaps just as I stop smiling.

I'm sure one will come out where I smile some day. Ah well...

Thanks for posting these Jim. I have to say it's a nice wee article too.

Dave,

Look on the bright side, he's offering a bulk discount for an extract:

Paul,

This is page 14. I have heard that there is a much better one of you on page three and from the angle it certainly looks like a smile.

Hi Gents,

Jim thanks for the photo definately "a fine body of men", but it's a good job those blind's were closed or the sun shinning off the three baldies would have blinded us all and put a bright glint on the
photo.

Seem's you were right Barry.....Spot the differance.

Jim were you once a Sontaran in the Dr.Who series.

Ray.

Ray,

Naw, everyone can tell that's the look Dave O'Brien has when he's doling out "events".

Jim,

You could be right there or it could be David Imerie after a session in the hotel bar

Can't wait for our next R2E encounter, it's a pity you can't make Cannonade on the 8th May.

Take Care Mate,

Ray.
