The Pointy Stick thread

It is true the the liberation of the Israelites from Egypt, where they wondered in the desert for 40 years, was loosely based on EB running down to Asda for his mam when he was a young lad.

I often wondered, even herding all those goats and snotty nosed kids, and harvesting the Mana, where the hell did they go? You could walk to Vladivostok and back in 40 years.

Not EB!

There were no supermarkets when I were a lad.

He could if he was aiming for Chelmsford.

Just a plethora of mongers....fishmongers, ironmongers, costermongers...but then the Edwardians put pay to all that with their new fangled department stores.

Rubbish! Iron hadn’t been invented when EB were a lad. Bronze was what all the posh folks had

[grizzlymc]

Uus ordinary folk didn't for bronze lahk. Flint were good enou fer mi grandad n its good enou fer me. When kids don't learn to knap they'll enter a state of moral decay, mark me wods.

Mark your woad huh?

Just got hold of Men of Bronze, the new set from Osprey. They are big skirmish, about the same size as Lion Rampant but no fixed unit sizes, basing agnostic. Might be worth a go instead of Mortal Gods which was a bit disappointing, good core rules but dismal components (bent ragged cards, flimsy booklets, miscast dice etc.).
