I hope you enjoyed the boys' first tour as much as I did.

No...They didn't play a single one of my favourite songs. ;)

(Nice one, Jack !)

Cheers - Phil. :)

Thanks fellas, and I'll be sure to talk to their stage manager about the lineup for their next set ;)

V/R,
Jack

Techno II

Not sure if they'll be able to meet your repeated requests though, I don't think the know any Abba ;)

Don't you start. ;)

I'll settle for "Comfortably Numb", though.

Cheers - Phil. :)

Just a quick update on my wargaming projects, for anyone that's curious:

Americans and Germans for the Bulge – Done, played a few games already
Americans and German FJ for Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy – Ready to go
British/Canadians and Germans for Normandy – Ready to go
Troops and Gear for Two Brothers 2nd Tour – Ready to go
Marines and Japanese for Guadalcanal – Close, maybe another two weeks of painting/basing
British Airborne – 75% there, hopefully by end of summer
Soviets and Germans for Barbarossa – Almost there, probably by end of summer
Soviets and Germans for Typhoon – Close, but sort of back burner
Commonwealth, Italians, and Germans for Western Desert – About 75%, back burner
US Airborne – About 50%, back burner
US for Normandy – About 50%, back burner

I also bought into the Warlord 'Epic Scale' ACW stuff and I'm dying to dive into that, but staying disciplined to at least finish up the Marines and Japanese before I tear open the box.

I've also got pretty big mountains of Napoleonic and AWI lead languishing in their boxes...

So that's what my wargaming projects look like, I'm hurrying.

V/R,
Jack

Here's a few pics of some test stands.


Japanese riflemen "banzai-ing" the Marine command stand.


The Japanese flashing some cold steel in this very poorly illuminated photograph.


The valiant Skipper draws his sidearm.


The intrepid XO stares on in disbelief.


And the Company Gunny (Pop Haney?) directs traffic, barking out orders.

Just a teaser, more coming in a couple weeks (hopefully).

V/R,
Jack
