This is why Pendraken is such a great customer friendly company...I bought an early Persian army at a recent show along with the new Spanish Army pack =P~. The driver figures were missing I didn't know until Leon pointed it out to me, and said he would pop some in the post, They came today. So a big thank you to Leon and all at Pendraken, its much appreciated,
Have a great week ahead

Don't worry I sure Leon knows what you're after ;D
2235 hours and still my mystery package hasn't arrived ... I'm gonna be up all night at this rate! =)
So - did it come? ;)
Well I hope you get what you didn't know you wanted ;)
;D
That's service!
Well I got my SYW reinforcements as ordered, many thanks. Scotland has also decided to be my friend so I will be keeping my 1745 10mm Jock-o-bites so we can continue the debate on the table top. So glad that Mel Gibson will not be King of Scotland ;-)
They'll be thankful for that, at any rate. Mind you, it could have been Idi Amin.... :D
Well same here Dave, least when I go back to Glasgow see my friends, there wont be a border crossing, on the down side no duty free shop either. and my own highlanders for the 45 will stay in the box with the English ;) Wont have to buy another box :D
Have a great weekend all

The '45: another great misconception about Scottish independence. I believe a high proportion of the British Army in 1746 was made up of Lowland Scots.
I believe that to be the case too, some Regiments were nearly all Scottish,
Not many English at all in the 45, lots of Germans, French and various forms of Jock-O-Nese (Highland, Lowland, Half-way-up-Land).
Don't forget this famous Highlander: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067302/ .... WAIT ... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058777/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 ... wasn't he at Rorkes Drift ... The Great Pretender ... he's ENGLISH!!!!!! :o
I posted this link before.
Clans at Culloden:

Looks like some of my ancestors supported both sides and some couldn't be bothered to support either. Charlie's ideal government would have been made up of Catholic sympathisers as opposed to the protestant Hanoverian king's government. Charles Edward wasn't planning to fill Westminster with MSPs.
Right proper Jock punch up that was ...
Independance - that debate isnt over until the fat lady declares UDI.

Of course, Culloden had nothing to do with Scottish independence - it was just the failure of another attempt by the Scots to keep us English under the jackboot of the Stuarts (or whatever family it was that supplied the warming pan baby! ;)).

Now that's an interesting point of view.

Alternatively, it was a Scots attempt to put the rightful government back in power after the London elite had hijacked the country ... much like the recent referendum and with just as much success :(
"Such a parcel of rogues in a nation"
As a dynasty the Stuarts were hardly a roaring success. And as for "government", parliament controlled the money, whoever sat on the throne.
Is Mel Gibson a Stuart? If not then the entire Braveheart story is yet another fabrication of Tartan Propaganda. Attached image shows Scottish Orc Mob being badly led and hence getting into some difficulty in front of the Troops from the Shire.

The Gibsons are Hebrideans. Mel Gibson (who is not Hebridean as far as I can tell) was playing William Wallace who became Regent of Scotland but who was not king. The Stuarts don't appear until 1567 almost 250 years after Wallace was around.
But, yes, your rather nice Orcs are about as historical as Braveheart :-)
Didn't Phil Barker call Braveheart "the most accurate historical movie since Monty Python and the Holy Grail?"
I think the Orcs were commanded by that famous Hebridean; Bonnie Prince Gibson. His famous battle cry was reported to be: "You can have our flock and paints but you can't have out 10mm Pendrakens".
Kitty - That's harsh. Monty Python are known for their sly accuracies in what people think of as comedies. They were mostly Oxbridge graduates!
The 45 wasn't supported by the lowlanders because they believed a cosmopolitan forward looking union, with trading links was better than a backward looking absolute ruler who wanted to take the Scots back to a mythical time that didn't exist. Interpret that as you will.
It's the Oxford side of things that brings the Monty Python score down, of course.
:D ;D :D
