"Dated". Ian meant "dated".

Basically, America went past it's sell by date.

Thought we'd got rid of the da**d colonials in 1776. 

It took till 1783

Greeting from another Hoosier!  I'm in Ft. Wayne, but Mom lives in Portage.

We do WWII in 15mm, but I use Pendraken stuff for Field of Glory, Ancients and Renaissance.

Luckily for you, you're not too far from Valpo and Litko who makes nice accessories, bases and such.

Welcome!

Actually it was rather the other way around

It took a bit longer than that and required a lot of help from the French, Spanish, Dutch and others

I almost forgot, I do Korean War 1950-53 in 20 mm also!   

Hello R65

Please ignore Techno about us being ecentric. The man hath forked tongue  

You will soon get used to the teasing and "in jokes"

When I saw the title of your post I thought you were "Mr Jones of the Temple of Doom" Fame.  In which case FSN would have been wanting a personal and private demonstration of the whip, but as you are not he will just have to put in a call to Miss Whiplash whose delectable services he enjoys so much.

P.S He has told me they are delectabe.  I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OF THE SAID LADYOR HER SERVICES ! ......I SAID "  I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OF THE SAID LADY OR HER SERVICES !"

Yes - we did have a little bit of help - and it was a rather a long slog (if I use this word correctly) - and I will admit that the Mother Country was a bit distracted - still the way we tell the story.....

And take that silk dress off - the whole Miss Haversham thing is getting old.

We gave away 13 costly colonies and gained enough of India to bank roll 200 years of empire. I call that a win for GB!

Just as well you don't have to write down the codeword, Orcs!
