Hello from San Diego

[Westmarcher]

The Regiment du Ray, on the other hand, was last seen hightailing it back to base because of heavy rain.

Secondly, at the risk of being thought a smart-arse, may I point out that Fontenoy was not a SYW battle at all, but part of the War of the Austrian Succession of 1745. There, I feel a lot better for that.    

I didn't like to say.  
I'm sure Mike knows what he's doing (don't you? Quick. Say, "yes") - SYW French figures without turnbacks (one presumes) should be fine.

Nobby and Grumpy - stay behind after school, please.  *swishes cane*  
Although, perhaps Grumpy could be let off with some extra homework (?) coz he did say he had no real expertise in the 7YW.

Awww! Sir! Sir! Not fair Sir! The bigger boys made me do it!

Hello and welcome to a peculiarly British corner off the interweb.

Was lucky enough to be in San Diego last year - beautiful city. Particularly enjoyed the maritime museum where I was once again reminded that I'm not built for submarines.

Hi,



Wecome to you in the beautiful city of San Diego!

My wife's family lives there and i hope to visit sometime - i'd LOVE to make it over for Comicon.

Welcome.

SYW French one of my favourite armies, have them in 15mm (before Pendraken) and 10mm of course.

Just waiting for some light troops ......

Cheers Paul

Hi Mike, welcome to the Forum!

[Leman]

It should be mentioned that the troops for the Austrian war of Succession are mostly to be found in the Pendraken SYW range. Plenty of French to be found there with fullskirts appropriate to the 1740s.

Welcome Mike. Enjoy, but be careful here, look what a simple hello generates. 

[Coffeefiend]

Thank you one and all for the welcomes, and I hope to uphold the standards and honor of this forum, but first a few ground rules.

1) There will be no staying after school. I teach high school and I do not want to stay the any longer then needed!

That's it. No more rules.

Hertsblue, yup, Fontenoy was WAS not SYW. SYW French (couldn't really think of another three letter word) with no turn backs would be better then WSS, but I am glad that you feel better

Hello Westmarcher

That is some amount rainfall, Grumpy. Where in Oz are you?

I'm in Bellingen which is near Coffs Harbour, NSW. We're used to heavy rainfall, the river in town rose 8m, which is an average decent flood, but the rain came down very heavily, very quickly and flash flooded the creeks in town (and stressed the lining in my eaves   ).

Nobby and Grumpy - stay behind after school, please.  *swishes cane*  
Although, perhaps Grumpy could be let off with some extra homework (?) coz he did say he had no real expertise in the 7YW.

I'm using the defence that I was passing on hearsay information ie from Coffeeefiend himself. See, see,.... he admitted it himself, sir. Besides he's a teacher and was only probably testing us to see if you people knew. Who cares about Little Lord Fontenoy anyway.

Cheers

Haven't been to San Diego for years ... it was a quick trip to the Zoo when we were in LA. Hope to visit next year with the kids, big fly drive hopefully. SYW is definitely the way ahead along with ACW, FPW, Medieval, Ancients, WW1, Napoleonic ... any everything else of course.
