We've been reading the menu a long time; serve us a battle now!

(Sorry, you're probably even more impatient.)
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

We are looking at having a couple of 'practice' games later this month, so hopefully I will be able to serve an aperitif or two

Theres this one we played a while ago: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,18109.0.html

The main course won't be ready till Easter though.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

A big thank you to MAgamer for his mention of pizza boxes :-bd
I've currently filled 4 with 6mm figures and vehicles to free up draw space for the output of this project
I've also got 4 pizza boxes of hedges and another 2 to come :) :!!

Flags added to two of the units of the current batch and edges touched up :) :)
When I went to cut out the flags for the third unit I realised I had made one of them with the wrong device Piles Wavy rather than Cinquefoils :o #-o
I've corrected the flag and will reprint and add tomorrow :!!

Paul is putting a lot of effort into the Cheriton refight....I'm sure the end result will be worth the wait  :)

Corrected flags added to Sir Edward Stradling's Regiment, both standards now have Cinquefoils :)
Edges done on those standards :)

I've just checked the forecast and no varnishing weather in the next 10 days :( ~X(
Hopefully, the showers will clear enough to let me get the 30 hedges and 3 units I have waiting done :-w

I've done 150 hedges, have another 70 hedges at various stages in the process, and 30 waiting to be varnished
So only another 50 to do :!!

No varnishing weather for the next 10 days !! :o  :'( :'( :'(

Mind you, you certainly wouldn't be able to do any varnishing here for the next few days !
Not only would the figures get very wet.....They'd get blown off the table !

Cheers - Phil.
