Magic game, it looks like the Arakan.

If that Jagd Tiger had got onto the table it might have made a mess.

Cheers Grizz. Yes, it looks like it should be the Arakan, with all that paddy and swamp, but in fact it's about 2,000 feet up in the Manipur Mountains. Imphal sits in a huge natural bowl in the mountains, with Logtak Lake at its centre.

I know, I saw the place when I was five. My father's best friend was from Imphal and Dad was visiting his father. I didn't realise but he was visiting all his Burmese friends to say goodbye.

A bit of a wargames room clean up and a public airing of how much bloody junk I seem to have!

Magnificently tidy and organised, even in temporary transit. And Ambassador, with your ferroa rocher Boxes, you are spoiling those figures.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

I feel better for seeing that.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done
