I would use the Guard Voltigeur figure for the Guard Chasseur, as I intend to. As far as I am aware the small shako was left in depot and the bonnet de police used, as shown on the bugler figure. In 10mm it is not really necessary to produce a separate figure.

ok thanks

Y  wotz rong wid Voltagiuers? 

[Hertsblue]

It's a word I've been mis-pronouncing for forty-odd years.....

[Leman]

vol tig urr - and don't forget to roll your Rs .... oooerr!

[Westmarcher]

........ vol - tee - jure
.... teege oor ...... tea - joor ....... oh, merde! 

[Leman]

  - the French,ay, don't you just love 'em - madre de dios!

[Hertsblue]

vol tig urr - and don't forget to roll your Rs .... oooerr!

Yes, that's the way I've been pronouncing it all these years. However, I'm now told the "g" is soft, because there's an "e" after it. So, volt - i - shzurr.

[Leman]

Well bugger me, as the French don't say. I've been pronouncing it Spanish since Noah. Voltigeur it is then, but I'll still have to roll my Rs.

[Hertsblue]

Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home....

[Westmarcher]

Have you noticed how some people roll their R's when they have wind? 



[You know. Like burrrp ...... What? What were you thinking? ....]

[Techno]

How do pronounce the past tense of 'LEAP' ?
I've always thought it was 'LEPT'.......But an awful lot of the talking books I've been listening to recently pronounce it 'LEEEPT.'

Which is 'correct' ?
Cheers - Phil

[Ithoriel]

Both leapt and leaped are past tense and a past participle of leap. Both are correct and either can be used, I believe. As usual, British English and American English usage may differ.

I await FK's views with interest

Both leapt and leaped are past tense and a past participle of leap. Both are correct and either can be used, I believe. As usual, British English and American English usage may differ.

I would pronounce "leapt" as lept and "leaped" as leepd.

I also think "dove" for "dived" is wrong but that's American for you (I'm running for cover now ...)

[Leman]

Presumably that's a nice peaceful dove.

[FierceKitty]

I've never cared for the American dove, but the battle's not worth the powder, is it?

[Westmarcher]

Presumably that's a nice peaceful dove.

Thank you, DP. Exactly. 

[Nor, folks, is it the Italian word, "dove" (pronounced doo-vay, I believe) which inter alia means "where," "whither." ]

I've never cared for the American dove, but the battle's not worth the powder, is it?

Agreed, FK. I say, "Let loose the dives of peace." * 

[notice how easy it is to 'fly off' at a tangent in this forum?]

* now, folks may ask, is that a typo or did he mean that?
