...has a keyboard that frequently fails to type the letter m unless I really whack it hard. I don't want my followers to fear I'm succumbing to Hay-Whitton's aphasia just yet; the problem's not cerebral or neurological.

Well, I don't want to nock, but in ny hunble opinion there's a sinple solution.

Just use an "n" instead of an "n", you bun.

You might want to refrain from that and let someone else do it.

How old is that laptop and any chance for external keyboard?

What about a cordless keyboard? Provided you have a spare USB port, you just plug the dongle in and off you go.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

All this would mean less money for new armies and for our trip to Italy this December.

A USB keyboard is about a fiver, so no great dent in the finances.

It's probably just accumulated dust. There are special bottles of compressed air with a tube like nozzle for this. Or you could try cleaning with a brush with bristles that are a bit stiff. Or go to your local IT-shop and let them do this.
Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!

Be brave, FK, be brave - lift the key off - it'll pop off easy enough, clean the debris underneath & push it back on. Will take you all of about 10 seconds  :)

Yeah I have removed the keys on my loads of time to clean underneath, dont do more than a couple at once or if your  like me you'll put them back in the wrong order
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
