Lindy Beige again ... Be prepared to have your Gallic pride ruffled.


I'm afraid I have to switch the sound off on the Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy channel, 'cos the presenter's voice is (to me) a bilt like nails on a chalkboard.  However, the videos are quite interesting anyway.

She takes a bit of getting used to (and so do the fleshtones on her minis), but I find these videos absolutely fascinating.

This has long been a favorite YouTube video for me. I still have some of my old Hinton Hunt figures. And of course LOVE all the uniforms and head gear which really add to a soldier fan's study!!!!!

Enjoyed the video, Terry

I'm pretty sure that the static scene presented was "closing the gates at Hougoumount" which the presenter described as an attack on a British frontier fort!  :o.  OK - I'm going to say it - Mrs. Hinton, a great painter and an all around hottie!  :)
