Why, sir, whatever are you implying?

Techno, I think I've had that - it put me out of action for three days. The badly cut finger didn't help either (disintegrating cafetiere in the washing up). Now at last bug on its way out and finger cut has at last stopped re-opening. As a result yesterday got stuck into some 15mm stuff - painting command stands for Confederate Western Theatre infantry and also swapping some Belgian WWI shako heads for feldmutze. Have hit on doing the ITSLU 1914 focusing on the Belgian fall back to Antwerp.

I'm looking forward to seeing these and am sure you will enjoy the games, the rules give a great period feel :)

I've had a bit of a mess about with the OOBs you were using, so my Belgians involve notable characters like Auguste Baincolidez and the village of Orsaise Douverze. Just liked the idea of colourful Belgian Guides working in tandem with Minerva armoured cars.

The armoured cars are really interesting but not overwhelming based on our limited experience :)

Glad you feel better, Bob.
It was horrid, wasn't it ? :-&

Best left to the imagination. Yes it was - thought my number was up.

If you are looking for good village names, you could do worse than:  Davedy, Douzy, Biquet, Mique and Titsche!

I should have said  that this group of villages are just across the border from the Dutch town of Zabadak!  ;)  :-\

Staring at the postbox and wishing all companies dispatched orders as fast as Magister Militum. I've got only a few days of holiday left....
