I shall pretend to be offended :shock: The wife suggested
"Comte d'anspantaloons "
My best effort was "General d'ogsbody"

The game was a draw ,even after both sides insisted they carry on to a conclusion. So with a couple more intrested,do i do another game along the same lines? Maybe ! ...

BLB FOR BEGINNERS

Hey folks, I'm planning a demo game for a couple of the lads who are intrested,i thought BLB would be ideal,but as this is a first game and they are new to wargaming. Maybe a watered down version? :?: And then the question........how to water down. Its not that the boys are slow to learn,more that i...

Varnish

Varnish?
I dont think i've ever used Matt Varnish on my figures(mostly cos i want to repaint later) However i've reached a reasonable standard and want to save some figures from the threat of chipping.
Who does the best Matt Varnish,and how to apply?
Any thoughts :)

Churchill, old boy, I meant that Marlborough fought for James II at Sedgemoor and then against him and his newly aquired French mates when old James fell out of favour. I confess i'm no historian but doesn't that make him at best someone who knows when to "jump ship" and i realise he wasnt the only ...
