The fifteen quid one with cardboard stand ups, it fits my voucher exactly ;)

I'd like the proper ones with minis but too pricey for my blood! Although I do have some of the Drow figures from one of them for nefarious bad guy purposes ;)

It's a "D&D-lite" game, thought me be fun for a quick blast between "real games", and good in a few years for my wee one to join in :)

Instead I got winterised jeeps and an M8 Greyhound for my 15mm Yanks!

I'm more used to seeing that in a somewhat ruder message :D

Did Americans ever do up the straps of their helmets? Or was that an invitation to a broken neck, like the British one?
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

May be I misunderstood ? ( English is not my native language)

For what I've read, they thought they might get decapitated in case of explosion. Some generals ordered them to attache their helmets, but ...

No, your English is fine :)

It's usually captioned something ruder - "How about a nice big cup of "shut the f- up"" ;)

Subtle. ;D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

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

I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Even for many whose native language it is, it is not ;) Or at least not maybe from the mangling of it we make.

Still, we get our point across, eh!

Peter - it's a re-re-reprint of of a late '70s era classic :)

Yeah, it's not actually D&D and has no actual mini's :D

Really annoyingly, after the order I actually made has just been shipped I've noticed that if I'd known the pack codes for FoW I could have had two extra jeeps for nearly the same price by getting a "Cavalry Recon" pack instead of the M8 Greyhound on its own :(
