More likly he needs a straight jacket and some nice people with white coats to care for him till the madness passes  ;D.

When he starts saying things like " I just starting to paint 2000 ACW figures, I have an order in for a carthaginians and what rules do you suggest I use for 17th Century Polish. "  we will no its safe to let him loose again  ;D

Welcome, Sid. If you think you've just met the Lunatic Fringe let me warn you - they have not yet begun to gibber. They are, however, correct on one point. No-one has yet managed to limit themselves to a couple of wargaming armies. Resistance is futile!
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Now where did I put that 7 of 9 figure ready to paint up. Inspiration to be found on the Top SF Totty thread.

I wouldn't resist. Seven of Nine could assimilate me whenever she likes.  :d

Now I think it's both "assimilate" and "culture" you're misunderstanding ;D

Hi, 10mm is a great way to go.

I'm still struggling with the concept of limiting. If you buy a box of chocolates, there may be a couple you don't like - the "LoA hard centre", or the "Mongol salted caramel filling-puller", but you don't just gorge yourself on the "Centurion delight" exclusively. Why shun the variety that the Pendraken Reasonably Priced Selection has to offer? 

I like to think that we (the holes in the Pendraken string vest) are mentally quite agile, but I must confess I'm still don't understand. "Limiting" - it's just so ... limiting.
