The Loose Association of Wargamers

6 + postage? how much do I owe you ?

Just sick squid is fine. Only really to cover postage and envelope and maybe a chocy bar from the shop.

Done...

Need your snail mail again. See pm.

Incidentally, my father's family history contains the snippet that 'we' came second at Culloden. Unfortunately not much more detail, and oral history largely.

At least you didn't lose.

Yes, runner up is pretty good for Scottish teams in international competitions.

(I must confess that I interpreted "came second" originally as being one of the Scots on the Government side - ie not losing but still ending up getting screwed.)

First loser I think is more accurate...

Interesting. That's how my ancestors wound up "transported" to America as indentured servants of the Crown for fifteen years--basically white slavery--as Australia had yet to be discovered by the English in 1747.

My lot were basically then homeless in Scotland, apparently because of support for the '45, homes were burned, and family tradition has it that they had to take to the road with outlaws. Not suggesting they were making clothes pegs and offering to tarmac your drive.. but..
