According to the book"Hell Riders" and "Flashman" the war started because of monks fighting over a key in Jerusalem. Who'd of thought a war could start in the Holy land?
Whatever next...?
They'll be telling me that you can get gravy on your chips in Ipswich next.!

Cheers Jim,
With any luck i'll be there with eldest child,who'll ask why there are no pink horses,and then grass me up to the wife about how much i spent, Bless.

Fantastic news Dave!
Cant wait.

Is there the slightest chance you'll do sculpts for"Jemmy" and "Boxer"?

Not been able to visit the forum for three months, and what a lot i missed! Its taken the best part of an evening to go through just the most intresting ones. What a resource, what a wealth of knowledge and what a lot of good, healthy,tripe! Its good to be back! P.S. Going to Dumfries at the next we...

Does anyone know if Great war minatures will be doing a range of British Hussars /Lancers?.
Or indeed any mounted Russians . I hope so, cant seem to find any figures out there for them( i know Foundry have some but there rather pricey)
Any help or comments please.

Never seen jims dice rolling in action, but if he's already cursed then does another curse make a positive curse? Have i inadvertently given him invicible rolling powers?

Jim ,roll a dice......we need to know!

Nope!
Maybe i should but,i've limited time to paint so most of my energy goes into cannon and crew. In fact i dont think i've ever bought one!

Well thats a low blow! You sir , have crossed the line. Its Haloween and the Pendle witches will be aboard tonight. Their dark and sinister witchcraft will curse your dice rolling and bend your pikes! Oh and perhaps more annoying.........all your static grass and gravel will fall off! There ,see ......

Dear Mr Lenin, Lancashire tea is , looking at the box,very similar in design to Yorkshire tea! The pictures of ex-miners coughing up blood on cobbles,rented whippets and cotton weavers grunning with one arm and ricketts; are sadly missing. However no longer must this Beautifully slag heaped county h...

Good people of the wargaming community, and others. You can now celebrate that superb victory over your opponents with LANCASHIRE TEA! No longer will you have to drink that T.V. advertised Yorkshire brew. So why not savour the moment with a proper Red Rose cuppa. :D P.S i'm not on commision,just tho...

I've just seen the new WSS infantry from Wargames factory. I thought that plastic figures for this perod would be ideal,as the amount of troops to field a large army would be a lot cheaper. I feel slightly disapointed as they dont seem as good as most metal figures i've seen. The painted figures i s...

Could anyone tell me if Mutineer minatures and foundry minatures are compatable, the price is about the same,and i'm contemplating buying Foundry Indians and Mutineer British. A slight difference in size is okay as they'll not be in the same units. :? I'm about to dive head first in to the era after...

Thankyou Gentlemen,
so far no signs of him picking up a brush! and paternity leave is proving good for painting.

Anyway i raise a glass in a northern direction and toast the red rose and the purple thistle.

There is a new addition to the dashing blade family! :D Alas i am well aware of Mr Hiltons writings on sons following fathers into the wargaming fold. But Wether he'll grow up to be a Blackburn Rovers fan is not up for debate :P Anyway, pour yourself a drink and join me in a toast to potential! :wink:

Wow!
Impressive
