Only the second time I've ever had to stop and look up a word used on this forum because I had no idea what it meant (the other occasion was Henry Hyde with "picayune"). Well done.

Some anti tank Vallejos from Boyes in York. Good price at £1.59 I thought.

I am going to nip into my local Boyes on Saturday and see whats on offer.

Boyes Anti Tank rifles at £1.59 sounds like a good deal although I prefer a Soluturn particulary the one that came with wheels.

I thought syphlomegaly was when they get out the horse syringe with penicillin, but picayune is one of my old time favourites.

As a youngster I used these battle maps and my plastic ACW figures to refight battles on the living room floor.

Now where did I put my Spencer Smith ACW figures.

I'm sure I bought the book earlier this year, but I can't find it anywhere.

What did happen to your SSM ACW project, Mark?
