Buff, I will take spare sprues off you. No interest in the rules but I fancy the figures for some klutzy paw-friendly conversion potential.

St George was eastern European, and the dragon is Welsh. So perhaps the Londonistan Flats Society?

And the designer of the figure was German I believe so perhaps we need to shut the whole society down with immediate effect.

Fredd the figure looks rather lovely - enjoy painting it !

:) all fun and games. I have admired flats for years. But that's one rabbit-hole I am not going to go down. Stargrave OTOH I was severely tempted by, as I have Dr Who and Aliens figures... but I am trying to resist.

i suppose it should have occurred to me years ago, but is St George the symbolic Anglo-Saxon defeating the Dragon, symbolising the Welsh? And everyone will say 'of course, everyone knows that'. It will only be the second bleeding obvious thing I figure out today.

no, it was adopted in 1350 when Edward III created the modern orders of chivalry, because to a Norman/Frenchman ST Edmund was too English and Saxon.

Bloody foreigners. Coming over here with their fancy saints and primogeniture. The king should be selected by a council of the wise or a reality show phone in vote.

I'll see if I get any offers of a swap at the club but if I do need to sell I'll let you know.
