Hmmmm.
I believe it's a tribute to a rather obscure Norwich BBC radio presenter ... "and Alan Partridge in a pear tree".
I understand he's keen on re-booting his TV career, so exactly how he has time to be climbing up fruit trees is beyond me. A ha.

Note to friends form the USA - hooters are noses on this side of the pond.

I'm sure Wellington never spoke said that.
He said, opening the Pandora's nox of generals with large noses)

A more modern obscure conflict, a war between two unrecognised states.

This was my estimate
Probably:
1000 camelry with spear, shield
500 Tuereg scout camelry or cavalry, spear, sword
1500 Bedu infantry irregulars, spear, sword, some shields, some slings
2000 Banzou negro infantry with sling or spear

But I was asking if case any French speaking forum members had done research on it already and knew......


It is worth considering whether the locals have adopted firearms in any significant quantity.

Quote2 injured (by neutral bears)

The implication here being there are also bears out there that haven't declared their neutrality? For whom do they fight?

I like a little buttered lobster, but I find I feel very sorry for them these days.

They're too cute!

This must be the only miniatures forum that can ask about wars we have never heard of......and end up talking about tasty crustaceans.

OK...I'll join in....Only eaten lobster once....It was very nice.
Crab meat.....Love the taste....But I must be somewhat 'allergic' to it.

Both times I've eaten crab, I've thoroughly enjoyed the taste....BUT.....You don't want to know.
I'll never eat crab again.

Cheers - Phil
