Sunjester has suggested that I don't need a new range of miniature I sent him the link to! (1:4800 Napoleonic ships)

Weirdo
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

It's a joke, surely!

I'm fighting hard not to go for some Nappy ships. I blame the Tumbling Dice thread.

Just bought some Korean War aircraft from Tumbling Dice.

I present the case for the defence M'lud.

In the first instance, Last Hussar already has almost enough Wizkids card Pirate ships to refight Trafalgar.   :P

In the second instance, these are NOT Pendraken miniatures.  :o

In the third instance, so long as Last Hussar is using OOP models, I am safe. But as soon as he starts using currently available models, I will feel compelled to purchase some myself and I don't want to have to paint little ships!  >:( :'(

The defence rests.

I call "witness for the Defence "  Mr Orcs

Defence lawyer:  You are Mr Orcs of the Pendraken Forum?

Orcs : Yes I am

D.L. You are known to Mr Sunjester and Mr last Hussar

Orcs: Unfortunately I am.

Dl.  Why does Mr LH not require the said 1:4800 miniature ships ?

Orcs:  As Mr Sunjester said , Mr LH has nearly enough of the wizkids ships to refight Trafalgar. This is likely to be the biggest battle Mr LH is likely to fight, certainly in the space and time available to him and his opponents.

DL. I see, so thee is no need to spend time and money to buy ships that you can already represent using Mr LH  large , no enormous fleet of wizkids ships

Orcs Yes that is Quite correct.

D.L Your witness

Prosecution Lawyer: Mr Orcs, am I correct in saying that the smaller 1:400 ships would allow, larger engagements in a smaller space?

Orcs. Yes
PL. So is that not a good enough reason just to buy them?

Orcs. Well erm no, we do not NEED to buy them.

PL.  We have established that you are a regular member of the Pendraken forum. tell me is that forum or its members known for any of the following traits:-

Logic?
Restraint?
Sanity?

Orcs,  Erm,.... well......l UM .....no!

PL. Has it not been said on this forum, when referring to prospective purchases " what has need got to do with it

Orcs. Well .....erm, yes

PL. Do the members of this forum have a tendency to buy things that are shiny, even when there is no need?

Orcs: Sometimes

PL I have to remind you , you are under oath! I repeat :-  Do the members of this forum have a tendency to buy things that are shiny, even when there is no need?

Orcs : Yes

PL Do you have any interest in Napoleonic ships ?

Orce, No none

PL. So you have no need for 1:4800 Napoleonic ships as Mr LH has a large fleet

Orcs. Yes that is correct.

PL  Please look at exhibit 1 (PL shows Mr Orcs a 1:4800 model ship). This is a nice model is it not

Orcs Yes

PL One in which you have absolutely no interest in

Orcs  No interest at all......

PL. Here I have a starter fleet of 1:4800 ships, something you have no interest in or need of , Am I correct

Orcs : Yes You are


PL Mr Ors would you like me to give you this starter set of 1:4800 ships that you have ABSOLUTELY NO INTERST IN OR NEED FOR ?


Orcs: (getting very excited)  YES! YES! PLEASE,

PL I rest my case.

Objection.

I'm 9 third rates short of Trafalgar in PotSM.  Does anyone have any 3 masted ones they could sell me?  I mean, the ships are 5cm long, so have too much fire arc.
