On the primate note, selection process for the Rhodesian SAS included eating a rotten baboon which had been hung up in the training compound and left for days in the heat before being turned into a stew!

Shame, they were nice. Sadly no maker details available, and can't find any similar on e bay.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

I was going to up the bid for shits ‘n giggles, but the party’s over.
Anyway, metal be damned. What you’re paying for is the faff of assembly, carried out for you by a faceless drone at way less than minimum wage. Bargain.

Not my sort of club meal. There is video of Selous scouts being introduced to the trick of eating the contents of an antelope's stomach for the water.

I did push the bid up a little but didn't get them. There are some nice ones out there in the sub fifteen squid bracket so wasn't prepared to bid too much, even though the thought of turning up with a squadron of Ferrets would have been fun.

I will console myself by looking for the pull back action M113s I've got somewhere and seeing if they are close enough to 28mm to work.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in

Random move distance could have great entertainment value.

Friction power for the win!

Approach the table....

Place your vehicle....

GRAB IT AND RUB IT FURIOUSLY BACK AND FORTH ON THE TABLETOP DRAGGING THE CLOTH UP AND KNOCKING EVERYBODYS FIGURES OVER!

Then release your vehicle, and witness the almost magical sight of it trundling forward for, ooh, maybe a foot or so, UNDER ITS OWN POWER!

Truly we live in an age of wonders.
