We've just had the WSS range painted for the website, so I'll get those uploaded asap to either inspire or depress...!

QuoteIf I have got this right, then these are my Pendraken WSS.

Thank you. I am now in two minds about re-burying the WSS and digging out those tiny Japanese aircraft   

Nobby's butterfly mind strikes again ...

• Pendraken preview Korean War smoke dispensers.
• I think they look like oil/petrol/gas barrels
• I think of the Battle of the Bulge and the German obsession with capturing fuel
• I think the smoke dispensers could be repurposed for a Bulge scenario
• Can't do the Bulge without Tiger IIs
• Not fussed about Tiger IIs
• Like big, stupid tanks though
• (From outfield) Had fun (re)painting those French tanks.
• Great fun to pitch big, stupid tanks against each other
• Buys Char 2C's with a view to Char 2Cs and B1's against T35s and T28s.

UK Change in getting Antibiotics.
Interesting, but Be V,V Careful.

Most things, you do NOT need antibiotics. And increasing 'resistance' to treatments, Human and Animal.

BUT, wait for a Doctor's Appointment can be ridiculous.  2-3 weeks! By then, whatever may have 'gone' Or you will be 1/2 Dead. Or, you might get appointment next day for something that 'could have waited'. Russian Roulette!
Pharmacies tend to be careful about things... just customers are not.

Medical treatments...Years ago, found what seemed to be beginning of a 'lump' in a Nut. Dr's .appointment, THREE weeks later... by then Cyst had broken up and gone. Converse... Ma had two mastectomies, both Malignant, found early... and lived long time afterwards. So... if think 'something wrong', best to try to have it looked at.
Now, I tend not to bother... rather think that various things wrong with Me. But various, 'Check Ups' and samples, last year showed nowt. So... do as you will... but best looked at, sometime!

Moving tomorrow, so I have just submitted my final meter readings for gas and electricity.  I haven't done so since February,  and I've used £30 less than they estimated. In fact I used so little the website actually asked me "are you sure that's right?"

May you be happy in your new home.

If you get a £30 refund, that's 5 Pendraken packs.

Pharmacists are more than just people who work in a chemists shop.  They have pretty impressive qualifications and, I'd say, they are as capable as most GPs as far as prescribing medicines for most common illnesses.

Last Hussar. Had that reply to last 3-5 submitted meter readings! Dunno what they will do when Mechanical meter goes 'Over the Clock' ! Have asked, but reply was, "Its OK"! lol.

I've put my last order* for Ottomans in with Pendraken, and hopefully it will arrive soon and I can get painting. In the meanwhile, I've started  (re-started) my WSS with two completely made up countries. I have picked the Earldom of the Isles and the Dukedom of the Mountains as the antagonists. The Earl, being a man of the sea, has picked blue as his colour, and includes a couple of battalions of marines in his order of battle. The Duke who (has been Frenchified and like to be called "le Duc") is less formal about his uniform code, but tends to favour green. The Duchess likes purple, so the Duchess Guards are not happy.

With all this being said, with a total of 19 battalions of infantry, 21 squadrons of horse, 10 of dragoons and 2 of cuirassiers, with 7 batteries of artillery of various grades ... the first thing I painted was the supply train for  the Earl. 
 

I didn't remember that I'd bought so many wagons, but think the could be useful in many periods, and yes, I have the same for the Duke. 

With that out the way, I painted a squadron of the Earl's dragoons, and one of their precious batteries of artillery. 

I do like the black and blue artillery pieces. I'm putting the dragoons in a lighter blue with 15 mounted figures. There's also the option for the plebs to dismount giving 9 skirmishers and 3 horse holders.

*This will be the third "last order"**, but I had a change of heart and decided each Orta needed to have their kettle, so neeeeeded to order some more command units.
** I've had more "last orders" than my local pub.

    

Lovely work!

Great stuff, Nobby !!

Hope all went ok. See you at the multiplayer night at Sunjesters.

I don't have any gas*, and the gas company is trying to charge me £70 for 1 day, and not admitting I am also £190 in credit.
They know about Northern Road,  they can't get into their heads that I can use that for the new place.

*It's capped, but no one seems to know why.
