Or to give her her proper title, 'The Empress of Blandings, MkII'. A slightly early birthday present from Phil, she made her debut in today's VBCW game here in GHQ ~

A full report on the blog over the weekend I hope.

Oh, I don't know, it killed my Vickers Light Tank, but nothing else............. The smell of smokey  :D bacon was sweet, though.

An excellent game to play, with great company, beautiful scenery and splendid metal men.   8)

As an OAP yourself, you may be aware that old chaps can't cycle that fast!  :D ;D
