OK, let's see...

...if Seleucids can handle the dreaded Indians any better.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Ele's should dislike the long pointed sticks.

[FierceKitty]

I'm kinda counting on it.

[FierceKitty]

It worked. Seleucid cavalry hammered Indian horse and chariots, peltasts saw off the elephants, phalanx clobbered the infantry.

[toxicpixie]

And all is right with the world

[FierceKitty]

Hmmm. Lee's got the sulks about losing.

[toxicpixie]

Swap armies

[FierceKitty]

That's been suggested.

[toxicpixie]

Then get out your special dice with two ones and no sixes on

[FierceKitty]

Any die I roll with becomes one of those within twenty minutes.

[toxicpixie]

You must buy 'em off the same people I do

I try never to rely on any plan that requires good (or average) dice rolls

[FierceKitty]

You must buy 'em off the same people I do

Right. If your plan is 90% likely to succeed, there's an 85% probability of disastrous failure. Mathematically absurd, but empirically confirmed over the decades.

[toxicpixie]

Are you sure we're not the same person

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Would you want to be ?

IanS

[toxicpixie]

I dunno, I am pretty great as is 

Not to blow my own trumpet, because I haven't got one.

FK seems pretty great as well, but as I haven't seen us in the same room at the same time, I can't be sure we're not.

[FierceKitty]

Are you sure we're not the same person

Maybe we am. Say after me "More Aztecs, fewer split infinitives!" Can give that 150% passionate conviction?

[toxicpixie]

Hmm, I'd be tempted by Aztecs... but I really don't get very fussed about apostrophising thing...

Maybe we're not the same person. Do you have a leaky greyhound mithering about the house? If not we're almost definitely different people...

[FierceKitty]

I've got a kaltsaphagic Siamese kitten. The greyhound lines are there in the figure; that is to say, if they were warships they'd both be destroyers.

[toxicpixie]

Close, but no cigar - I think we're probably safe to assume we're actually different people.

Unless you've just spent your lunch break hangin my washing out, anyway

[FierceKitty]

On holiday this side.
