Well we do need something to ease us into the Saturday night festivities now that the Marshal will no longer drink Sambuca

You say that, but peer pressure normally trumps good sense on an Ayton evening

I think Buff should paint them as he likes, and the rest of you should burn him for it.

A balanced viewpoint that should satisfy everyone for a while.

I get so teary eyed about LAW, no one else would call me balanced.

I'm looking for an interesting HQ unit for Ayton. It has to be AWI vintage to match the army but the only one that looks interesting is this one.

The problem being that they are French, not their fault of course but it is what it is. Is anyone liable to blow a gasket if a couple of them have red coats?

I, for one, would like to see what you do with them. It is a really lovely set and somewhere or other, I have separated the engineer officers for a small vignette - the one with the telescope is supposed to be Berthier who sketched several topographical plans. I should warn you that my Duc de Lauzun will be taking part in Goat Major's Face Sulk game.

The joy of Hussars is that just about every nation used a multitude of colour combinations. Anyway noblemen can suit themselves.

Very popular facing colour in the H&M era.

I think they are toys in a game. If it doesn't bother you, why care if it bothers anyone else?

So the correct answer was "apply common sense"? Wow - what were the odds on here?
