Bizz-an-teen if you are British

Bizz-an-tine if you are American

Apparently.

Being a stickler for consistancy I tend to talk about the BYE-zan-tine Empire, Bizz-AN-tine bureacracy and Bye-zan-TEEN archictecture. As long as people know what you are talking about, who cares!

I've always pronounced it Bizz-an-tine. Never heard an American pronounce it and always assumed they didn't know anything about the Byzantine Empire as it was not around during the last 250 years, and as the inhabitants of California know, the Americans have a real downer on countries that build empires.

Wot 'e said.

No - the great British public HAVE SPOKEN, so FSN must work to fulfil their desires !

It was an advisory vote only ... beside which, I haven't given a date for the implementation of the policy.   

Incidentally, ECW and Flodden - lots of pikes and a bit samey.

Yup. And both slot between the War of the Roses and the WSS. I'm looking at Flodden because I know do little about it.



Anyway, anyone got photos of Oxen or highlanders? Anyone?

[d_Guy]

Has anyone got a picture of ELM40 (Scots Highlanders)?

Leon posted a pic of them here awhile back:

I have a feeling the oxen are going to look a bit like oxen.

[d_Guy]

Looking for oxen now - in a bag somewhere  

ELM19 (Irish Gallowglass ) are also quite suitable for highland warrior class at Flodden.

Thank you d_Guy. Look like they might be suitable to mix in with the Flodden offering.

I was wondering about the yolks.
