Hugo Drax from Moonraker aka Michael/Michel Lonsdale . In my view an underrated actor, especially good in the Day of the Jackal - though I could never work out why he couldn't just choose a first name and stick with it!

Also, if I recall correctly, some publicity for the hobby in Ronin when Lonsdale's character is seen painting some Samurai miniatures.

The very sad loss yesterday of Steve Hacker - a UK west country wargamer - a true gentleman.

I was proud to have played with him at a number of Clevedon Club evenings and weekend games and against him at many LaDG competitions.
Softly spoken - always with time for a laugh and a conversation - never to focused on a win to forget this is a game we all play for fun and he enjoyed himself.

He will be sadly missed.

Sorry to hear that Mark .

Sad news. Sounds like he was the kind of guy who would have been good to know. 

  Sounds like a sad loss to our hobby.

Another great drummer has gone to the rhythm section in the sky: Lee Kerslake, former Uriah Heep (and Ozzy Osbourne) drummer  

Very sad to hear that.  .....There can only be two of the original band left now.

Yeah, Sad. In my brief teenage exploration of Hard Rock, the intro to "Ain't Talkin'' was a real 'hair raiser'!

Play LOUD !!!

And I saw Van Halen, way back when! 

Great shame.
