Today we are all Europeans.
Actually we will be Europeans ad infinitum, as will the Russians, Norwegians, Serbians, Swiss etc., whether or not we are in the Union. After all, much to a certain Mr.Trump's chagrin, Canadians and Mexicans are also Americans, just not citizens of the United States of that continent. Anyway, welcome from the forum's resident fan of Belgium - Hope Leuven is having better/calmer weather than us today.

What ho, Cavillarius!

You say "colonials".  Here, that usually means Americans. I am guessing in your case not. Are you thinking Belgian Colonials?

Technically North Americans but fair point.

Today we are all Europeans Humans. Even the fantasy wargamers.  ;)

Fair enough.

I consider myself immune to Colonials ... and photos would test my resolve.

IMMUNE !!!!! =O =O =O =O =O      RESOLVE !!!!!   =O =O =O =O =O =O  you might be able to spell the words, but you cannot use either in any sentence when referring to Frederick Simeon Nobbs and Pendraken products.

I will as soon as I have some. At the moment I'm still a martyr to the lead piles: one 6mm Pontic army to finish and two massive 2mm 30 Years War armies (Spanish and 'Statish') to start on... Painting the latter feels a bit like painting licorice all-sorts (Engelse drop). Bit of a failed experiment maybe.  ???

They can get done fairly fast, i know ididn't take that long:

just don't overdo it, most of the stuff won't be noticable anyway!

Cavillarius

This whole dry brushing lark doesn't satisfy me one bit, but you're right: I could probably do all of that 2mm stuff in two nights. Oh well, once more onto the breach, I guess...

It's playing with them afterwards that satisfies me  :D

I've met at least one man from Buenos Aires who made a point of calling himself an American.
