Things like this convinced me that a lot of the "old style" Horse and Musket rules - with their rigid interpretations of base dimensions and strict formations - were simply wrong.

It didn't help that my armies often ended up in a traffic jam resembling Piccadilly Circus at rush hour.



And where are all the supply wagons in all this?  Where were they left?  As I recall it, in Kriegsspiel the train of a brigade took up twice as much space as the deployed units and would be needed for ammunition resupply?  How far back would they be if the artillery limbers were so close?

It might have Covid antibodies in it, Ian. Grand idea ! ;)

I nearly took a piccy of four sheets of bright red kitchen towel, and sent it to Nobby...... with the heading "Ooops !"

You'd done that and the local mounties would have been around, sending biologicals through the mail. Mind you they would'nt have arrested you - all Welsh police forces are known as Gurkhas - take no prisoners, do it all by warrent !  ;)

:-&  Hazard of the hobby.  Managed to push a scalpel right into my thumb last week cleaning up a mold line.  now have one of those ages to heal pencil cut type things which is more irritating than when it happened.

I think I've realised how I managed to do 'my cut'......Air drumming along with Carl Palmer, with a brand new 10A blade attached to the handle. :D

AND I've had to switch the stereo back down to between a half and ONE.....'Cos the 'main' kitchen was vibrating. =)

Oh.....how I want to wind it up, so they could hear it in the village....a mile or more away. ;)

Cheers - Phil. ;)

That sort of stero kit is bared under stratigic weapons treaties Phil...

When Orcs gets round here in the next few weeks......I might make his ears bleed......
I won't be allowed to do this. ;)....It would cause too much structural damage.

Cheers -  Phil. ;)

My ears have had it. Listened to too much heavy rock/metal at full volume on headphones while painting.
