Last, and in every way least... one and only, The Great Lame Beaver!
As I was putting the paint on, I could hear a ghostly chuckling. A little voice, sniggering...


"Look, The Great Lame Tosspot, wot's he painted wiv, squaw-paint, as usual???!!!"

But The Great Lame Beaver's Medicine proved all powerful. In the end he had the last laugh, sending Colonel Marlowe to the happy hunting grounds.

"I also commend to your keeping, Sir, the soul of Colonel Marlowe, late Brigadier General, of the Sheffield Idiot's Brigade. Known to his comrades here, Sir, as Trooper Dunderhead, United States Cavalry... a gallant soldier and a Christian Gentleman.

Well, now that you have such a fine collection, we all await many an action report as only you in your delightfully inimical manner can so entertain us.  So hop to it.   :D. Short an opponent?  Well, solo it up and play on, good sir.

Or buy me a round trip ticket!

Game on tomorrow, with the last of the Dunderheads!
The best games we ever had were between me, Barry and another 30 year Veteran, Peter. Somehow the NHS has re-booted the old bugger, so there'll be a couple of games over the next two days. The evil 'Snake Eyed Pete' and his myrmidons are heading for Dead Man's Gulch!

Well now, that's good news.  Both the NHS " re-booting the old bugger", and the scheduled game.  Looking forward to a report on events after they've transpired!

The gunsmoke's slowly clearing in Dead Man's Gulch. To state that the day's been an unmitigated deesaster, for the forces of law and order, is a tad of an understatement!
Full AAR to come soon.

Hmm.  Drumming fingers monotonously on the table.  Wondering if there is a missing 'tomorrow' in the above post and thinking I'm typing on the 'day after tomorrow'.  Edit did we?  Hmm.  Well, should be worth the wait.

Perhaps the "idiots" may deserve a promotion?!  lol

Foot, mounted - or both?  Nice whichever way.  And Happy Birthday! (early or late as the case may be)

Well, holy dead-eye quick draw, I just had a peruse of the whole GB range of stuff.  You need to be awfully nice to them thar' "idiots" for a few years - and drop about five gazillion hints that 'Daddio' will be very happy to receive a whole lot more of that range for birthday, Boxing Day, Xmas, anniversaries and any other gifting dates you can convince them (guilt them) into getting you gifts for, maybe starting here: https://knuckleduster.com/collections/terrain-accessories?page=1

A seriously nice range - and even a Mongo wannabe on a bull!

I take no responsibility for any conversations with your local bank manager about mortgaging your house to make further purchases from GB!  :o

Hope all is well.  Been more than a month and haven't seen that AAR.  Appear somewhere else? 

Or did that link I provided lead to cardiac issues?   :o. Hope not.

Sadly real world's getting in the way, of playing with the toys at the moment.
