If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I got rid of that book - too superficial.

If I won £70 million I think I might be too busy on my Yacht in the carribbean with a bevy of willing young females having meaningless liasons - at least for the first two years.  :d :d

If after a couple of years I had not died with a heart attack or by Mrs Orcs.  I would probably want to do the main battles of the Italian Wars, followed by the D-day landings.

If that was the Battle of Cannae I am indeed Napoleon. Yet another example of why I don't play computer games: the stentorious History Channel voiceover, the brilliant mispronunciation of Latin, the constant shouty interruptions and the jerky camera work. What were the Triarii doing there? |they remained back in camp. The whole experience left me  :-/ ????????

I agree. That was no help whatever in understanding Cannae.

I don't think it was meant to Herts, Steve was rubbing my nose in it ;D

Yes. I would agree with this. Just buy (read it) for the pictures.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

I only know about Cannae from reading this book as a teenager.



This picture caused a potentially ill advised trip into the loft....and yes I do also own this book  :D
Old enough to know better

So it looks like every copy of that book bought is now owned by PD forum member?

I certainly did own a copy of that book - really liked back when I was in school.

Couldn't spot it on the book case at first, and wondered if I had got rid of it, when we moved a few years ago, but after a bit more looking spotted it on shelf  :)

Its a bit basic - but it does try to cover a whole battle in a few pages.
