Wargamers Bragging at the Bar.

Did you? You kept that to yourself! Well done!

Standing on a chair at Ayton 1 doing a jig because I killed off LT's advance or something like that

As that nice Mr Troop hints, all that Kiwi wine may have affected our Welsh friend's powers of recall. 1st Ayton, VB's Cossacks emerge from the woods on my left flank and proceed to kebab my glorious looking but absolutely less than average militia. The jig was to celebrate six consecutive sixes.

LT probably didn't notice because even on the chair he wasn't as tall as LT.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but I won a painting prize for my Marder at Hammerhead this year

And very splendid it was too.

Having a senior SAS officer and a senior US SF officer introduced to me because they wanted me to sign the copies of one of my Osprey books that they had both just read.

Having one of my Ospreys made part of the required reading for the undergrad year at West Point; another used for "staff rides" by the USMC; and a third used as the basis for an organised debate at the US naval college at Annapolis (this last was courtesy of an old school friend - an American - who joined the USN after leaving school and reading history at Liverpool Uni). Still working on how I can get the USAF interested in one of the others.....

Winning our club's 2018 "crap armies" FoGR competition (no Great Commanders, no Elite/Superior units), although it has to be said that this was largely due to everyone else having their big wins against the club's worst player negated when the poor chap was taken ill with a burst appendix, with only me left to play him.

(I'm the fat kraut on the far right - rather apt really.....)

Well done!

Let me think about that - I'm a past master at getting public funding for 'Air Power' staff rides to the Tank Museum, tank battles where the weather grounded all aircraft... and Waterloo...

In fact, take that as a brag.

I've also been immortalised in lead by QRF... The bad sculpting, mould flaws and requirement for extensive fettling only adds to the authenticity...

You kept that quiet! Congratulations.

Damned if I'd fettle RMD.

Kickstarting the Ayton games (with Peeler), by taking a throwaway remark on the previous forum and between us sourcing the venue and getting a date. We'd have done it if it had just been me and him, but wow were we impressed. And ten years on it's still going

Definitely the winner. Well done guys. The events, the gaming ,the spin-offs and above all the friendships that have resulted are things to be treasured

Are you the chap on the left, about to throw his beret at the photographer, or the man(?) on the right struggling to don a balaclava before anyone to whom he owes money recognises him?

I'm the bloke on the right, wearing glasses and scratching his head, looking baffled.
