This one will be handled by a specialist team who use it to snipe at grammar Nazis.
The only gripe I have with the Warlord version is the bipod. My sources indicate that the early versions used an inverted T monopod and that this was superseded by the same bipod as the Bren gun, the Warlord one looks like neither.

6 boxes of Warlord Naps French to round off my army. Only paid for 4 in the Warlord deal. And the BUMS have outdone themselves and liberated an armoured car from the Lancashire Armouries for the assault on Ayton next year.

I’m working on the assumption that no matter how many times I post that VBCW is a D10 based game there still be someone turning up on the morning asking if we’ve decided on rules and what dice do they use. Not naming anyone of course....

But yes they’ll make great tank traps

Someone at work once said that a 4 x 2 Lego brick was the most painful thing you could accidentally stand on. I challenged him to stand on a D4 before going on to discuss punji stakes and landmines.

I've always said you aren't a real parent unless you can identify individual pieces of Lego using only your bare feet.

...and not scream.

I've had drill bits and nails through my foot, hit it with a mattock, sledge hammer and concrete blocks* but nothing compares to the corner of a 2x4 block in your instep.

*That was a rough day :)
