I got (I think it's called) a tablet.

I've got it to work !

I couldn't get it to 'register' last night.....It kept coming back with "please try later"...I expect because oodles of folk were trying to do the same thing with their prezzies.
It nearly made me jump out of my skin, this morning, when it started talking to me !

Now I'll need to find out how to download the/a BBC ap.....And then I'm away. 

Cheers - Phil

On the new Battletech starters -

Have recently bought it - it is a cracking package

Isn't it! I'm a major BT fan anyway, but I'd resisted as money's right and I have waaaaaaaay too many mechs, but eventually couldn't resist. Love the new sculpts, the Primer and rules and components are lovely and it has cards for Alpha Strike as well! Now I just have to decide what to paint the Mini's as.

I'm leaning towards actual House Marik/FWL as when I did a "Free Worlds League" force a bit again I accidentally got heavily emotionally invested in the Duchy of Andurien but I could go Periphery...

I should have thought your fondness for small table size hex games would be a shoe in for BT, Norm?

Techno, good luck with the tablet. We're getting one for No. 1 daughter over this week, which I suppose will have the advantage of brin relative peace & quiet to the house (imminent arrival of No.2 is why moneys been tight enough it took Cmas for me to get the BT set )!

Well, after my Christmas-on-Boxing-Day Meal add the following to the previous list

Field of Glory Card Game
Two more boxes of biscuits
Pack of Galaxy chocolate truffles
Bottle of red wine

.... and a fridge full of left-overs. I must learn to cater for the number coming and not make twice as much "in case they're hungry."

Restricting my report to wargaming items only, I got bottles each of Glenfiddoch 12 Year Old Malt Whisky and Woodford Reserve Bourbon (connection is Little Wars TV), shower gel & deodorant (connection is a certain type of attendee at wargaming shows) and Zulu Rising; The Epic Story of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift (connection is my recent holiday in South Africa).

Where's the fun in that

I'm still happily working my way through leftovers from a significantly over catered Christmas dinner

Well, SOMEONE left soft poo in the kitchen sink again...but think it was The Cat, although Santa (or Reindeer!) size!  Lol!
Wargaming? As it was pay by cheque, Ma bought me some Hinchcliffe 25mm ACW Cav for when I cannot even see 10mm anymore! 

Hmm. Remember an Xmas long ago when I had received a 'leak' that an aunt had bought me LOADS of Napoleonic soldiers...Wow!  25mm Naps!!! No...Airfix 1/32!   
Maybe Napoleon had the same sort of  on a certain afternoon in 1815?  Still, well meant at the time  Bless.

I've got it to work !

Oh no, I hadn't..... 

I'm not sure how it was managing to do anything until now.

It appeared to let me use what I NOW know were incorrect passwords a bit......And then go into an electronic sulk, and refuse 'to play'.

Wasn't 'til yesterday when I found the password it REALLY wanted was the one on the back of the hub. 

I'll join the modern age some day
