Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

Absolutely, positively spiffy.

I too like painting carts before the horses.

Carts, wagons, and pack animals never get sufficient attention. This is a shame since they are what really win wars.

The Covenanter tank represents the same characteristic forward thinking as the V1 hauled about by your Flodden Scots. If one can't be proud of one's country then there is little point in having countries (this last is a half baked thought that has not been fully been considered).

I have done limbered an unlimbered, but just wasn't using the limbered enough.

History suggests that Scots would have benefitted from small advantages on the battlefield.

I've been contemplating the 1745 - an unusual mount for Charlie.

Not the real king.

With a gun platform like that who is to say?

How to you figure the platform would have been moved about? Oxen or horse or heavy lift helicopter?

BTWFWIW, recon drones would have been more useful to the Scots than a single use V1.

Historically it was towed by 8 heavy horses

Do we have any idea of their names?

[Last Hussar]

Dasher and Dancer, Cupid and Vixen, Prancer and Comet, Comet and Blitzen.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Dasher and Dancer, Cupid and Vixen, Prancer and Comet, Comet and Blitzen.

But those are Reindeer, not Persherons

Looks like Comet has drawn a double shift! 😀

[d_Guy]

He is an exceptionally large Comet.

Meanwhile Donner is off having an assignation with Rudolph. Who is doing what to whom is open to historical interpretation.

Do we have any idea of their names?

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb - thats the crew , not the Horses

Anyway ... I had a hard look at my phone bill and have, by tweaking the "bonus features" saved myself £17 per month.

That is two Pendraken packs plus postage per month, or 2 1/2 packs if I add it to a regular order, or 4-5 Spanish buildings if they were in stock .

My latest project of projects is the Peninsula in 1810* - and the Portuguese element is 26 packs. In other words, just from the savings on my phone bill, I could buy a half army in a year.



That makes FSN a happy Nobby.

Well done, that man
