Kicking the tires on a new period.

lets see if EB can resist....

I'm going shopping now, and when I get back, if you like, we can have a sensible conversation about something else.

You can do sensible conversations?

Skirmishing pike is too mainstream.

I don’t regard any ruleset as complete unless it includes rules for Thrown Pike.

And then form phalanx with darts

This contemporary source rates the Pike as a better weapon for single combat than anything else shorter than eight foot.

Very interesting link Paul. Did you see the part that said:

"The reason which moved me to adventure so great a task, is the desire I have to bring the truth to light, which has a long time lain hidden in the cave of contempt."?

A bit cruel of the writer to have slated off poor old EB like that. Probably never even met him.

Should we rename the shed the Cave of Contempt ?

[Essex Boy]

Oh for goodness sake.

Firstly, love the new name for the shed.

Secondly, now Dave has quoted from it, I'll have to read it. I'll get back to you.

I thought the 'Cave of Contempt' was the nickname for the 'Lettuce Fridge'.
