Cataphracts should be fielded as an element of Knights, Kittenaphracts are fielded as a Rider element.

Either may dismount, counting as Sneakers if they do so, but must start the game as such and may not remount.

FK may be fielded as either a God or Dragon element - powerful but erratic and unreliable troop types

There was a fad that lasted far too long. The films seem to have been designed to provide a large number of aging British thespians a comfortable retirement.

Loved the books, as did almost all of the family and many friends. Enjoyed the films. Looking forward to the next Fantastiic Beasts film.

Any author who can get as many children reading, and parents reading to children, as J K Rowling did is to be applauded, in my book.

Then there was that 5th edition old favorite - "Hostile Huns" ... always a good one to pull out of the bag on your opponent.
I think just one element/unit in an army was good enough to justify the effect (which was something totally disproportionate but I cannot remember what - just that every army that had even so much as heard a rumor about huns had to have at least 1 base in the list).
You could apply something similar for Kittenfracts ... which should not be confused with Kittencrads of course.

Then there was Berserkers - or maybe that is just the Greebo effect (switching from JKRowlin to Terry Pratchett ... gourd rest is soul gov'ner)

Do you mean Kittenrads - the semitracked motorbikes of the Furred Reich?

It was widely known that they formed a part of all armies, hence the phrase 'the whole kitten caboodle'. I'll get my coat!

Seconded

I remember a schoolteacher's telling us in his Latin class that a bootlegged Lady Chat did the same thing in his schooldays. In his words, "When you picked it up, it fell open at the appropriate pages."

One of the laziest teachers I remember, and one of the best. They often go together.

Pity they didnt bar the rest of D.H. Lollipop's  out put, along with Charlie Dickens, two of the most boring authors in the world....

I tend to agree with you about Dickens I  find iit  little short of action.

Also. I have never ever forgiven my school for forcing me to read Pride ad Prejudice  as it was  the set text for the educational year.

WE wuz forced to read sons and lovers, utterly tedious....and Dickens - never use one word when 100 will do.

Austen - one of the fifty greatest artists ever; nobody else has so affectionately hated the human race.

Dickens - mix of solid gold and broken polystyrene.

Lawrence - have to agree there; only thing to make his fiction look good is his poetry, which is even worse.

We were supposed to do Sons & Lovers too.

Didn't think much to it, so picked exam questions where I could do Lord of the Rings instead.

Got an A ... so I guess that worked out OK.

I got a B for saying Lawrence was too obsessed with his mother's failings and fall from station to middle class...
And that the rocking horse was awful!

Exactly, my dear Watson - spot on!
