Lifeboat ?

Do you really think I'd remember to have one of those on board ?

I probably shouldn't have let Westie have a go at 'driving' either.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

You're making 'em up as you go along! Btw, how many of those could be proxied from existing ranges?

:)

Not many to be honest.

As to making them up ...
Sumerians and Old Kingdom Egyptians I'm pretty sure you know about!
Amurru - the biblical Amorites, known to the Sumerians as the MAR.TU. The Sand People.
Gutians/ Lullubi - The wild hill tribes from the foothills of the Zagros mountains
Meluhhans or Melukkans or even Meluhkhkans - the Sumerian name for the people of the Indus Valley Culture (with capital cities at Mohenjo-daro and Harrappa)
Elamites - the culture from what is now western and south-western Iran, it's most important city was Susa
Eblaites - from the eponymous city of Ebla in what is now Syria, a major player in the area ... when not being smacked flat by some passing invader or another.
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

I used to have a half-and-half Elamite-Babylonian alliance army to fight the Assyrians, back in 6mm days.

I'm impressed you're all going for opposing armies that match up!

You're obviously not real wargamers or you'd all have picked something out of period not just for your own selection, but somehow out of period for everyone elses :D Also, how come no ones managed to slip a scale or two, or argue about basing and rules yet? Surely that's much important than getting off the boar, after all we..

Toxic', why are you on a boar?

Why does Leon even keep a boar on the SS Pendraken?

Is it alive, or stuffed?
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

You don't think I'm doing all the swimming to this island myself, do you? I have a robust figure to maintain and can't go spoiling it with muscle tone!

Being only one letter away from BOAT, BOARS are rather buoyant and make excellent platforms for escaping sinking ships.

Although as mine is not even properly undercoated, only 40mm long and made of lead I may have miscalculated...

For armies to rescue can I choose inflatable ones in 1 to 1 scale?! No sniggering at the back!

Are we limited to current Pendraken Ranges?

Most of our choices deviate from the O.P.'s specifications.

Nope. Any force, any time.

Could be an air force or a naval force.

In that case, can I have the Jutland fleet, 1:1 scale, then we could all sail home.

If the SS Pendraken was a part of it it's no wonder it sunk :D
