Professor Fate, of course.  :P

That looks fun!
And the contraptions are grand - I'd really like to see the Dutch and the Turk vehicles  close up.
Is there any complete and ready-made rule set which works well for VSF? I would guess not....

Sorely tempted to build a couple of vehicles...or perhaps boats.

Oops, I'd confused the Russian and Dutch flags.
Anyway, they're all there - thanks very much BaronVonJ, those are brilliant. Larger than I though too, after seeing them with a couple of models I own.
Brilliant show!  8) 8) 8) 8)

Once again RECRUITs is the weekend of my wedding anniversary. My wife is very understanding and may let me free for a night. I'm also thinking of debuting Fistful of Lead: Horse and Musket that weekend, too.

Please tell her it's also the birthday (Saturday) of two guests from the far flung wilds of Nebraska...

What the heck am I saying?!?!? As a firm follower of 'She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed' school, I admit she DOES come first.  ;)

No doubt the player with the most sparkling teeth.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
