Hello from Surrey

Square Bashing has a scenario for Lake Tanga.

I thought Square Bashing was aimed at Divisional level games with Battalions as units, seems a bit to high level for East Africa. Or is there a lower level version?

Square Bashing has a scenario for Lake Tanga.

To me Square bashing implies infantry and Lake Tanga makes me think water is involved. Is it a snorkeling scenario?

Welcome MediumAL
Hope you enjoy your time here.

It's a British attempt to seize a port in German hands. It was defeated quite comprehensively so the scenario is to see if the British force can do any better. Strangely  Tanga a seaport and there is no further mention of a lake. There is no lake on the gaming table, so how the scenario got it's name I am not sure. The British table edge is the Indian Ocean coastline.

[Subedai]

I knew that...honest.

Hmmm ... I've done some research and there may be a trend.

Lake Manga, 1811 - No animated characters, no even in Japan.
Lake Tanga-Brief, 1942 - No mention of ladies unmentionable. 
Lake Hanga, 1782 - Although a monkey was involved, it was nowhere near Hartlepool.
Lake Banga, 1983 - Not fought with obsolete, out of date equipment.
Lake Kanga, 1904 - Surprisingly, not part of the Great 'roo Bush War.
Lake Sangar, 1979 - Fought on the open, with no-one in prepared stone positions.

Welcome

[MediumAL]

Thanks for the welcome - I think?!?!
Thought about the Fringe bit, but mine has been retreating towards the back of my head for years now. Only consolation is that the light bouncing from my gleaming pate can sometime help when photographing minis. No Medium Betty, I fear. Knew a Sweaty Betty once, but never worked out how she got the name - she was lovely.

Waiting for my new toys to be delivered, so nothing useful to contribute yet. Bore you all with some pics in time.

Looking forward to seeing the pics

I think he would say " he has a lovely wife so does not feel the need to look at Totty" - Well he would when Mrs T is around

Just as a side thought, and nothing to do with Techno and his MiL and their living arrangements, at what point does an "older woman" stop being sexy and start being a bit ... strange.

[Westmarcher]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my dear Rikki Nobby.

For example, some look at an "old lady"  ..... like the Centurion, say ..... and after one look at her guns, only see Nirvana.

I think that as you age yourself your subconscious   mentally increases the age that you find women are sexy. You also appreciate the experience of the older woman.

Hmmm. As a 20 year old an older woman of say 40 can be alluring. At 50, a woman of 70 ...?

It's Mrs T's birthday today.

She's in hospital.........I HOPE I'll be picking her up tomorrow........I'm NOT having a very good day.
