re counting with fingers: If you buy things in China, you'll find that people use their fingers to show numbers a lot. This sounds very foreigner-friendly, until you realise they're holding their fingers to show the written numbers, which don't much resemble international or Roman characters. It helps if you've played mah jong a bit, but not very much.

BTW, when are going to get some Ch'in and Han armies in 10mm?

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

At least the Chin would give a historical opponent to The Mongols

I would support a Non- Kickstarter for Chin

I'm afraid they most definitely wouldn't. It would be like saying that Julius Caesar would give an historical opponent for Garibaldi. Mongols need to fight Sung (Song) or Ming Chinese. These are already sort of feasible, though you have to get a bit creative about what figures you use or convert, and there's very little in the Pendraken range yet. I've got a Ming army, mainly Magister Militum, Irregular, and some Kallistra. The result is bizarre, but so are Chinese armies generally.

Don't feel sorry for the bugger - he doesn't actually DO anything (except painting/basing) while waiting for a call to come in.

No sometimes if its quiet I do undercoating or base colours as the light is not good enough for anything detailed. 

Other times like my last two nights I was so busy I did not even get a lunch break.
