QuoteIf I won a very large amount of money I'd fund a film (two-parts, so it could be over five hours long) following the career of Marshal Ney

definitely my favourite psychotic Marshall

QuoteI'll need a bit more than that Matt; not one of the history boys

you've never heard of Cannae! seriously?

Nope  :-[
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Probably Ravenna (1512). Colourful, varied and small enough to be practicable. 4-5,000 Landsknechts - yummy!

Might cost you a bit having those fiddly little buggers painted!   :)

1. CANNAE - the most perfedtly executed pincer movement ever, trapping an entire Roman army. Hannibal's master move, probably still used as an example in military schools.

2. RAVENNA - a fascinating battle with the perfect mix of medieval, renaissance and experimental weapons and tactics. Love this one so much have started it in 28mm.

You sure? I'm certain Cannae was in Scotland.  :-\

Or maybe it was just a Disney film?

I only know about Cannae from reading this book as a teenager.

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

May have to download similar on my Kindle to avoid a future faux pas (is that French for step dad?).
