And many congratulations to Field Marshal FSN.

Apologies for the delay sir, the major took us on a cross country "short cut".

Congrats to both on their promotions.  =D>  Who would have thought two guys could write so much drivel.  ;) :P
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Do they write it.
I figured somebody had build a random phrase generator and connected it to our forum.

Well, I can't speak for the Major, but I work very hard on my drivel.

Just be thankful there are things I start to post and then think "nah. That's too silly."

In conclusion can I just say that Centurions are the bestest tank evaaa, and that kneeling poses are not to be considered before 1900 and only barely tolerated thereafter, bases should be devoid of architecture and shrubbery, Pendraken should make chariots, and of course activation is a questionable mechanism. 

That, I think is 9,417 of my posts summed up.  :P

Sir, sir! I think this random phrase generator needs an upgrade!

A Field Marsha! What in h__l is a Field Marsha!? What are its pronouns?

Ideas for the next 10,000:
Are oliphants centurions?
What does Foxtrot Sierra November stand for and does one consider it ribald?
Would a cake with 10,000 candles illuminate all of Runcore before exploding the gasworks?
Did people actually not crouch, kneel, or fall on their faces before 1900 (unless they were doing the necessary)?
Will a Pendraken 1815 French army be bought before one's 75th birthday and will it be displayed on a blue plastic drop cloth?
Will the V1's give the Scots success at Flodden?
Will holiday poems return before the quarter quell and will they still be in iambic pentameter?
Will one-sided dice become popular and might they solve the activation problem?


Congratulations. Make mine an IC lite.

Are oliphants centurions?     Yes
What does Foxtrot Sierra November stand for and does one consider it ribald? Techno revealed this as Frederick Simeon Nobbs.
Would a cake with 10,000 candles illuminate all of Runcore before exploding the gasworks? Not enough oxygen in Runcorn to sustain candles. This video is mis-labelled, it's how they all burn here.

Did people actually not crouch, kneel, or fall on their faces before 1900 (unless they were doing the necessary)? It is rumoured that some Continentals skulked in such a disgraceful manner but I never believed such a thing.
Will a Pendraken 1815 French army be bought before one's 75th birthday and will it be displayed on a blue plastic drop cloth? Categorically not. If a late war French army does make an appearance, it will be from Leipzig. It will also be after the Prussians, Poles, Austrians, Russians and Bavarians (all bought and paid for), and probably after the Spanish, Italians, Saxons and Swedes.    
Will the V1's give the Scots success at Flodden? Not so far. I put my trust in the pikes.
Will holiday poems return before the quarter quell and will they still be in iambic pentameter?   I need a rhyme for "Cuirassier"
Will one-sided dice become popular and might they solve the activation problem? It is a profound truth that premature ejaculation is not a male problem, it is a female problem. Similarly, I don't have an activation problem. However, my revised Napoleonic rules are strengthening the role of the order bearing ADC, and the way in which generals/units respond to changed orders. However, Nobby's First Law of Troop Movement states that "if a body is at rest or moving to carry out an order, it will remain at rest or continue to carry out that order unless it is acted upon by a force."  


Other questions for the next 10,000 posts:
"Please may we have some chariots?"
"When will we see the Japanese castle?"
"Are the Amazons done yet?"
"But chariots will be out soon though?"
"British Marines would be a good proxy for so many things ... like Swedes"
"What goes with the S-tank?"
