Reasons against Centurions

1. fsn would go completely silent, painting the first 2,000 Centurions - we would miss him. :(
2. Pendraken should first do a Merkava IV, in my opinion....  :-[
3. It is a Saturday.  ;D
4. Centurions are most certainly less important than German WW2 Maus tanks  ;) 
5. Centurions are less aesthetic than most tanks (with the exception of the Crusader....)
6. fsn would need to find another fetish  :P
7. His elaborate post may loose quality in that process  :-X

Could I add a plea for a Laffly S20? My DP from my DLM have sore feet.

The actual first post of fsn on this forum. And there are no Laffly S20, as yet. So I would think they would have to be done first, anyway.

And after that it's trains, and ships, and Napoleonic stuff and whatnot. So I think the current infatuation with those Centurions is only temporary, and best ignored for now.


:d  :d  :d

True. I have other ... wants, but they are subsumed by my NEED for Centurions.

After the Centurion, I shall almost certainly review my priorities and find a new "fetish". my DLM doing quite well on foot so the T35 is looking favorite at the moment. Chariot armies are also up there, and I'm biding my time on Napoleonics. Still, a nice wargames sail-era warship would be a lovely addition ...

Having said the Mr BigBoss raises the interesting possibilities of 1946 ...

Distorted view of armour aesthetics surely! The only good thing about the Crusader was that it was pretty!

Seb, Have some heart and be a little diplomatic (I know thats difficult for a German :D).   What you said about FSN's reason for living  is akin to saying to someone "Your wife/ lover is as ugly as a mule and reeks of body odour. ;D ;D ;D

Keep calm and BOOOOM HEADSHOT!!!!!


Diplomacy and Germans is something not to be mentioned in one sentence. I still cannot get my head around how Bismarck made it but maybe he was not really German. But then again I insist that the Bohemian Private was indeed Austrian.
Quite a bad deal for the Germans considering we gave the Austrians Mozart a few years earlier.....

Concerninh aesthetics you have certainly heard most German males consider British females to be among the ugliest in the world. Hence the origin of strong beverages to improve birthrates ;)

I admit having been misguided on this topic until I read a study that British women ahve the largest ..ehem...arguments in the EU. I was happy ever after :D :d

Thats a bit rich considering most English are decended from the saxons who themselves were German.  :D

Mind you Prince Charles is from German stock and considering his choice of partner he must be drinking pints of vodka   :D
