Lallans is my mother tongue. I can usually follow Strine (not 'Strain' though to speak it you must do this to your vocal chords).
My understanding of it was beaten into me when I first went to school.

I'm strangulated Lallans (mostly beaten out of me) with a bit of Doric, Dundee and Angus Glens, added 2 years Canada, 27 years Strine... who knows what I sound like!

The Baroness is a product of Carlow/Dublin (mother) and Western Isles/Glasgow (father). During her 20 years at British Aerospace, her accent was "identified" as belonging to every part of the - forgive me - Anglosphere from Somerset to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, via Australasia, EXCEPT Ireland and Scotland.

Nice. Incidentally... what am I buying? Blame the Baron, stl files to print off a Sikh platoon for Chain of Command. Just need to scale them to match my Perries.

A lanchester armoured car or 2 as well?

Lots of Herpa Minitanks, BTR-152, T-55 and GAZ-69 for Egyptians.....

I already have one.. and I can always print another one if I need to.

He also printed my two for me (including some replacement turrets with open hatches - cheers!!!), to go with my Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.

(And, if memory serves, he bought the last two Warlord ones in a Black Friday sale a few years back, so he's actually got a fleet of them.)

Probably more than were ever operational in Malaya...

You mean you are doing the what if scenario for Malaya where they were properly equipped and competently led?

I'd settle for adequate supplies of 0.5 Vickers ammunition, and a clear command structure. That would be a great start. I've often thought Malaya/Singapore would make a great map campaign.
