I think that should really be in the mounted section.  O:-)

"mounted
ˈmaʊntɪd/
adjective
adjective: mounted

    riding an animal, typically a horse, especially for military or other duty." - Google

No one is riding those horses, so technically they are draught animals not mounts :)

Not wishing to rock the boat, nor start a debate, but I'd say the horse-drawn wagon was in the correct category. It being a horse-drawn vehicle.

Quote from: WikipediaA horse-drawn vehicle is a mechanized piece of equipment pulled by one horse or by a team of horses. These vehicles typically had two or four wheels and were used to carry passengers and/or a load. They were once common worldwide, but they have mostly been replaced by automobiles and other forms of self-propelled transport.

At least that's how I'd view it.  :)

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?"

I went with an artillery base for my open entry :)

I took FSN's suggestion as tongue in cheek, attempting to reduce the competition in the vehicle category that he has entered ;) ;D

As already noted I'm happy to have it shifted if it is bending the rules

No problem from this end, wagons and carts have always gone in the Vehicle category (or Open if people choose).

In my wargame world the vast majority of vehicles are horse drawn.

right then, some assistance required, I've decided to change the photos for my entry in the the pre-20th century foot category. For some reason I can't seem to find the edit or delete post button? Am I just having a moment and totally missing something, or is this feature disabled in this specific thread.

any help much appreciated!

You can only edit posts for a short while after posting, around 30 mins.

If you email Leon he can probably add the new photo. Or just do a new post and ask for the old one to be deleted.

As Fred says, there's a time limit on editing your posts, so you can either email me the links to your new images, or make a new entry post and I'll delete the old one for you.

Ok I have added a new post now, thanks very much for the help lads. I have a thing about all my units getting casualty figures so every time I saw the photos a little voice inside my head was saying 'incomplete unit'

On second thoughts probably best not to ;) ;D

Looks like there is going to be a mad rush to get entries posted this weekend, about 170 shy of last years so far :!!

We're a little behind previous years, but not far.  In 2014 we had about 70 by the 24th and then went on to hit 207 overall.  We always see over 100 entries in the last 3 days of the comp, so that'll be 27th/28th/29th this year.

And I have to remember I'm a day ahead, 25th drawing to a close for me while it's just dawning for most of you

So it's good morning to you and good night from me ;)
