Title: Well, fleen me for a pigmy!
Post by: FierceKitty on 16 September 2020, 03:11:32 AM
Pardon the obscure oath (a great favourite in my schooldays, where real swearing could have got one into trouble). We ran out of gas yesterday evening, and today the gasman came to deliver a new cannister; passing through our outer room, he did a double-take seeing my Dacians, then asked in fair English "Are those 1:200?". Turns out he's a D. an D. nerd who hasn't heard of real wargaming hitherto....

But yes, as our Gallic friends would say if it didn't sound better in the original.

Fingers crossed you can show them some historical games in action. Also would give Lee someone else to beat ;) :D.

Lee's led the Cavaliers in the last three battles: one draw, two defeats.
