Did we have this in mind for an Ayton and if so which one?
I’ve checked the Egyptians and there’s 21 chariots and a sufficiency of foot already painted, but a fair pile of lead as well. If it’s for Ayton I’ll plough on with the Egyptians, if not I’ll exhume the Hittites and try to bring them up to size as a private project.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Well you certainly don't want to go exhuming Egyptians, look at what it did to the Earl of Carnarvon and his chums.

I've not heard anything about pointy sticks at Ayton, leastways, not as a main game.

There is of course the option of playing PSs as a side game next year, or as a main game in 2021, although pike and shot is gaining momentum in that respect.

This thread wasn’t started with Ayton in mind. Just that you all wanted a kanban...

It was an idea to allow us with dust gathering pointy sticks to be kick started into doing something about it.

Then I am kick started into the dress-wearing, long-haired, effeminate Hittites, it will be good to work up a proper opponent for the Pharoah’s chosen and it seems appropriate to start my review of all projects with the Bronze Age and work through in an or.............oh, shiny :shock:

Brilliant idea. Something to aim for.
