Apparently she was handy around a landie as well, so by repute is Anne.

I'm not surprised, Fredd. They'd have some time and a nice mix of terrain to practice when they were able to get some time away.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Partizan haul yesterday:-

For a mate
- five rows of trees from Last Valley (can't believe he still had stock left at 11:45 - most unusual for him)
- a bridge, some shell holes and their new 28mm ruins from Ironclad Miniatures
- some 3DP Reconquista figures (casualty types) from Irongate Scenery as markers for SAGA Normans

For me
- two packs of paints from Foundry (3 pots of 34A dark black and the Buff Leather triad)
- flight stand pegs and decals from Leon for Algernon
- some wee little magnets and "ferro" sheet offcuts from Coritani for Algernon
- a couple of nice books from Caliver, one AWI scenarios, t'other for Algernon
- two Russian 77mm guns from Empress for TTM&TB
- two very cheap brand new WW1 Ospreys from Dean who does the second-hand/painted figures stand for TTM&TB
- and two big boxes of 28mm WW1 British and Germans from a chap who wants to focus on Gallipoli, also for TTM&TB.

So WW1 for you huh.

Funny, just reading Castles of Steel about the British & German navies, fascinating, but I want to lynch Churchill.

2 boxes Perry Light Cavalry, 1450 - 1500, one box Great Escape Cowgirls, 1 griffon from Irongate, dastardly & Muttley from crooked dice and a small set of the AK weathering pencils to give them a try (and see if I can find art pencils cheaper if I like them).

All bought invisibly at partizan!

Oh and a very tasty ice cream (rum and raisin) from outside.

A modest haul from Partizan. Mostly C18th bits from Eureka and Foundry, some Trent Ottoman command, bits of Iron Gate Scenery, and a horse sprue to try out.

It was all bought with the proceeds of a sale. I'd have come out well in profit if I hadn't had to put petrol in the car to get home.

I could have bought more but I am focused and restrained now...

I wanted the Bruce Quarrie book on wargaming with tanks and it was cheaper to buy it in this bundle than individually. The only single copy would have been £10 with postage, whereas I got this bundle for £7.95 post free! I cant remember if I have the Fetherstone book, will soon find out if its in the shed? I definately have the F.E Perry book so its spare if anyone is interested?

A good catch, young Timothy!
