...but since I am to spend Christmas in the Swiss Jura1 where an internet connection is an uncertain thing, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all, my dear, dear fellows and ladies, a Very Merry Christmas from me, Mrs Hammers, young fiver and Can-O'-Beer2. Although I am a very secular man I wish to use the words of one of my literary heroes, Stephen Maturin: "God's flower upon your heads"3 for the greatness you bring to our particular little niche of human endeavour and art.
1where my brother-in-law has an old field piece in the garden aimed at France.
2who I dare include since he is doing a merry jig in his mothers tummy every turn of the glass.
3Captaine Haddocke is an other one but 'Espèce de loup-garou à la graisse de renoncule de milles tonnerre de Brest '[Tintin au Tibet] just doesn't have the right Christmas ring to it, does it?

Thank you Hammers!
I also wish you and your family merry christmas. Enjoy your stay in Switzerland! :)
The Emperor protects ;)

Ah, that's extra nice. Happy anything you may care to celebrate (Yule, Mithras's Birthday, Hannukah, the Solstice, Saturnalia or whatever else) to you and yours also. Enjoy your Jurassic Christmas. Try not to get involved any wars with France (or if you do, try to limit them to 25mm scale).

And a blessed Feast of Sol Invictus and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, my friend. If you start a war with France, be sure to take pictures;)

Gleðileg jól!
The lovely thing about this wonderful LAF is that it feels so much like a group of good friends meeting up at their friendly local to unwind at the end of the day. Always happy to see each other, often with something interesting to share. We are lucky to have this interweb thing to make it all possible, but even more fortunate to have been drawn together by those who created the Lead Adventure Forum.
May we always enjoy such civilisation, camaraderie and creative collaboration! Especially during this coming year.
Gleðileg jól to you all.

Merry Christmas, God Jul kära vänner, from northern Sweden, A true winter wonderland!

Happy Christmas to you lot. Yes, I did just get back, and yes, yes I am a bit scared at the 15 pages of new posts.
Oh bonus: Before I could post this I was handed a plastic bag full of stuff that was labeled 'BIOHAZARD'. Quite curious considering it was with my gecko's crickets. :D
Cheers!

Well, you asked for it.

Period painting of Colonel fivers, son of Hammers, at the Jura offensive. Lobbing persitent artillery barrage across the the French border the brilliant colonel flattened the Café de Sport in Divonne-les-Bains. It was here the colonel uttered the now timeless words: "Pang! Pang! Pang!"

The landmark headquarters of the campaign and residence of General Sharkey, maternal uncle and parrain of Col. fiver.

An example of one of the many successful ruses de guerre employed by the colonel: a brigade of dummy grenadiers deployed in strategic places to confuse and befuddle the French.

General Sharkey's well stocked cave was a *very* popular operations bunker. Occasional raids into France lead by Col. fivers kept the supplies of fresh oysters, champagne and diapers up.
