Hello from San Diego

[Leon]

Hi Mike, welcome to the Forum!

It should be mentioned that the troops for the Austrian war of Succession are mostly to be found in the Pendraken SYW range. Plenty of French to be found there with fullskirts appropriate to the 1740s.

Welcome Mike. Enjoy, but be careful here, look what a simple hello generates.

Thank you one and all for the welcomes, and I hope to uphold the standards and honor of this forum, but first a few ground rules.

1) There will be no staying after school. I teach high school and I do not want to stay the any longer then needed!

That's it. No more rules.

Hertsblue, yup, Fontenoy was WAS not SYW. SYW French (couldn't really think of another three letter word) with no turn backs would be better then WSS, but I am glad that you feel better

Hello Westmarcher

That is some amount rainfall, Grumpy. Where in Oz are you?

I'm in Bellingen which is near Coffs Harbour, NSW. We're used to heavy rainfall, the river in town rose 8m, which is an average decent flood, but the rain came down very heavily, very quickly and flash flooded the creeks in town (and stressed the lining in my eaves   ).

Nobby and Grumpy - stay behind after school, please.  *swishes cane*  
Although, perhaps Grumpy could be let off with some extra homework (?) coz he did say he had no real expertise in the 7YW.

I'm using the defence that I was passing on hearsay information ie from Coffeeefiend himself. See, see,.... he admitted it himself, sir. Besides he's a teacher and was only probably testing us to see if you people knew. Who cares about Little Lord Fontenoy anyway.

Cheers

Haven't been to San Diego for years ... it was a quick trip to the Zoo when we were in LA. Hope to visit next year with the kids, big fly drive hopefully. SYW is definitely the way ahead along with ACW, FPW, Medieval, Ancients, WW1, Napoleonic ... any everything else of course.
