Given that the F&IW started in 1754 and the SYW didn't kick off until 1756, should we not say that the latter was very much part of the former?

Was there not a cold war between the Brits and the evil smelling froggies, one which was allowed to spill over in the 3rd word, but needed will and money to become war in Europe? Basically from 1066 to now?

Until the Entente Cordiale in 1896 or so, yes.

Nah. That was between one branch of the Norman's and another. Leave us Scots out of it.

I have a lot of time for a country where the newsstands stock more philosophy and arts magazines than cars and tits.

Don't you already have a big box (aka room) of ASL stuff?

Some Bengal Light Cavalry, an elephant towing a limber and some badmashes, and a replacement copy of Flashman in the Great Game as I can't find mine...

Just finished my copy, and it was an excellent read, loads of good detail on some interesting actions. Well worth it.
