Greetings from scotland!

[Danyo]

By the way; I like the way how you put 'the British made it a fight to the last man' about Isandlwana; I tend to think it were the Zulu's that made it a fight to the last man... 

Suppose that's true, but the British could have easily retreated...the zulu didn't completely surround them if what I've learnt is true haha.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

In that case it wasn't the wisest of decisions ever made and I don't think I would have defended such generals to the last

Cheers!

Silly people...just shows the dedication.

In saying that a few did fall back which then lead to the battle of Rorke's Drift.

Aberdeen, The area of our country where they had to take the escaped Polar bear into the Inversneckie cafe to get a bowl of soup to warm it up. (So sayeth Billy Connolly)

Falkirk here, with a fair few Pendraken armies.

Hi there. Welcome from the other end of the country. I hadn't realised how many Jocks we had aboard. 

[FierceKitty]

Och, I'm a Hay mysel' the noo.

Yes, I'd noticed that. Doesn't one of your ancestors turn up in an army-list in your renaissance rules?

[Danyo]

Didn't realise there so many scots here as well! Haha.

Good to see.

And thanks for all the welcomes, great bunch of guys (so far) mwahaha

[Danyo]

Furry boots haha love it!

My girlfriends from Banchory, love it there. So much more quiet and peaceful than the city. Plus the people are nicer!

Yep (well, 17th century; the renaissance was history by then). Though our real-life performance is less than stellar: we intrigued on behalf of Mary Stuart, we backed Charles I, one of us was responsible for the fact that the Jacobites hadn't eaten for three days at Culloden, and one deserted to the Boers at Mafikeng (the correct name, btw) and suggested using British captives as a human shield for a big attack (to their credit, the Boers refused).
And if about two thousand people die of eating contaminated haggis, I'll be hereditary Lord Constable of Scotland. Which, come to think of it, probably means an annual income of two shillings, and the duty to supply twenty knights and fifty sergeants for forty days a year if the Queen demand it.
