..... heh! ...... why did the water suddenly get warm there? ....... Nobby!   :-w

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Hang on! if we are quick with our decisions with 8 armies each  we should be able to take one medium sized army and an opponent from the entire range.#


But in the interests of this post

Italian wars French, Spanish, Italian states
Renaissance  Turkish
ACW Confederates and Union
Early WW2 Germans
Early WW2 British

If its a desert Island with lots of space and inhabited by only wargamers we could do WW2 western desert in 28mm on the beach.

Don't blame me! I didn't get invited on the jaunt!   >:(

And you can't have 1:1. Biggest available is 54mm.

Heh! Wait a minute! This is getting very suspicious. If you weren't invited, why were you on the ship? And, if not, why would you grab "British armour 1944, German PzGren 1944, Union 1861, Confederate 1861, Anglo-Portuguese 1813, French 1813, Late Greek Hoplite, early Republican Roman" armies before it set sail?  :-\

Ha! Answer that, sirrah!   [-(

[meanwhile, I bags an 1813 French and an 1813 Russo/Prussian army]

btw: all my armies, so far, are in 10mm - seems to me, there's a lot of heresy going on above.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I wasn't on the ship. I would have taken those armies if I had been able.

I just placed the limpet mines.

I knew we would finally winkle the truth out if you
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!

Damn! I could have sworn that figurehead at the prow with the long .. er ... thingy ..... was you.
[*voice from side* .. eh? ... what? .... that was the bowsprit? .... oh .... ] 
... and OK, the words, "As I waved you all off" was also a clue (damn! I'll never make detective!).

I knew it! Storm indeed! I can see now that it was your and your cockleshell pals' nefarious scheme to get the rest of us out of the way so that it would be your opinion and yours alone that would dominate the Requests page! I can here the evil laughter now ..... (hee, hee, hee) (.... eh? Shouldn't that be a tad deeper and scarier?).

... but .... wait ... who ... if it wasn't you ... why, as we all swam to the lifeboat (or boar .... or goat), did the water suddenly get warm?  ..... Techno?!

I don't know. Don't be surprised if he soon mussels in.

I now have a sort of Gilligan's Island image in my head. Think it will soon turn to a Lord of the Flies.

Any news on the boar?

Or do we not mention the boar  :ar!
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?"
