What colour are the shields?

The "Kalidasa" and "Blue Sun" expansions for the Firefly board game from my folks (they gave me cash and told me to buy something :) ), a quarter bottle of bourbon brought in person from New York by my younger son, a bottle of Jack Daniels from my older boy and his wife (theme developing here!), Lindt Chocolate bear and a copy of Poseidon's Warriors from my best friend, box of M&S Christmas "treats" and a calendar (featuring my nephew) from my sister.

Had my usual Boxing Day family lunch but in two sittings as my mother was taken poorly overnight and spent the late morning/ early afternoon in hospital (she's fine now) so my parents and sister arrived late afternoon and had lunch then! My niece, nephew and his wife turned up unexpectedly an hour or so later (already fed and watered, thank goodness!) so there was quite a houseful. My nephew and his wife had come across from China without telling anyone in the family except my niece and she was "smuggling" them in to family gatherings.

Had a brilliant and emotional day and am now utterly knackered!!!

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

O Dinas Powys

Gaming stuff: mini dice tower and Dragon Rampant rules  :)

Also received Bill Bailey's bird book and Ben Aaronovitch's (first) Peter Grant graphic novel.

Admittedly the Bill Bailey book was the only one I didn't buy myself, but very happy with that lot  :D
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

Race you with Poseidon' Warriors!

Still deciding which scale/ make of ships to get tbh so I think you're in with a shout there.

I'm considering adapting it to use my blue hex mat. Looks like it would work quite well. Will post pics and an AAR sometime in 2020 when I finally get something done :)

Subedai

Ma Subs said what do you want so I ordered

'The Mongol Invasions of Japan' by Mark Winchester (self explanatory)
'William Rubruck's Account of the Mongols' by Rana Saad (Invasion of Europe in 1241)
'Chingis Khan Rides West' by Don Croner (about the Kharizmian Campaign 1215-1221)

Haven't read any of them yet.

Other stuff:

A Celtic knot earring, smellies, slippers, a couple of diddley-d's and more smellies (hmmm, I'm beginning to wonder). We also had some joint prezzies.

Roy

Just spent my Colonel Bills staff Christmas bonus.

Obviously the money went on tabletop gaming items :D

Skywalker, I'll definitely be coming over to your club to play X-Wing now. Bodvoc ... do you want to play X-Wing if I provide the stuff...?  :-SS

Rimmer: "Aliens."

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?"

Bodvoc

Happy to play X wing Roy, I have quite a bit of stuff myself.

Nothing game related (again for the 48th successive year) but did get lots of Vespa related goodies ;)
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

I can now include Pendraken ACW to my xmas purchases presents. (I had to wait to receive them from a club mate who'd picked them up from Pendraken Towers pre-xmas closer)

Nothing gaming related, but I have cashed in some of the Amazon vouchers towards a copy of One Hour Wargames. Just waiting for it to turn up now. Hoping it will kick-start some enthusiasm.

And a bottle or rum to warm my tum . . .

Cheers, Martyn
