I had to look up "Hot Totty" since my English is impaired (although I had already taken an accurate guess).

She is indeed. I had forgotten about that tv series, so thanks for posting it fsn. The best part of the whole thing was Paddy Griffiths arguing with General Swinburne about the propriety of sacking the Duke of Cambridge.
The General finally used his command voice, sacked the Duke and lit a fire under the relief force.

His step-daughter likely gave him some insight into dealing with royalty.

There won't be a third time, late or otherwise.

I'd forgotten about the general's step-family.  ;D  ;D  ;D

I'm going to recommend a channel on YouTube, rather than just one video. It's Type 56: The Story of China's Army which (I'll admit I haven't watched all the videos) discusses the history of the post-war Chinese army.

The presenter (Jason) impresses with his enthusiasm, his knowledge (especially pronunciation of Chinese which I cannot emulate) and his vast collection of Chinese uniforms. 

Here are a couple of videos: one about why the Chinese didn't go all in for the AK, one about a battle in the Chinese-Viet Nam war of 1979.   https://www.youtube.com/@Type56_Ordnance_Dept

Chap on Youtube compares recently released Wargames Atlantic Azincourt figures to those available from Pendraken (and another company. . .):




Spoiler - Pendraken come out well. He even shows a Scottish army he's purchased at the end.

Someone needs to tell him it's Pendraken though, not Pendragon.

Nobby told me there was something about Leon's trip on Facebook, but as I don't 'do' Facebook, I thought I'd be missing out.
I'll do this later
