That must be one huge tricorne.

I forgot the Staines Wargames Collective (or whatever they are called) - some fantastic games over the years, with the Swordfish attack on Taranto, Pickett's charge, and a memorable Charge of the Light Brigade games (complete with lines from the poem) among the best.

Treat yourself to this and blow the budget for the next few years. I would have gone for it myself but my table has a SWL of 200kg. Anyway Bromsgrove's too far away for a pick up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pelargir-war-game-scenery-city-lord-of-the-rings-warhammer-war-gaming/263226320752 Thanks to ...

I was always intrigued by (and still have) all but one of the sets issued for System 7, with cut-out counters (properly coloured with coat and facing tones) in company/squadron sub-units. So called because the footprint equated to 7mm figures.

No, but I think EB was the origin of the phrase "what happens in Diss, stays in Cleethorpes".

I can personally vouch for this. Baron Hardup and the Naked Cyclist are harder to evade than a rear attack from Stradiots.

Any sign of that Fairie Queene?

I've always enjoyed the Too Fat Lardies games, and (further back in time) the Asterix games that one club used to put on (a tavern brawl sticks in the mind, but there were others).

And Parky trying to sign autographs with them?

I told you not to look at all that frozen lettuce.
