Then this thread can end

But what if we all don't want it to end?

Reminds me of a quote I've always loved: "People argue abouth the 'Golden Age' of science-fiction. Some people say it was the 1940s, others the 1950s. They're all wrong. The Golden Age of Science Fiction is twelve."

Oh! Very good, I like that!

Huzzah! I doubt I'd be alone in demanding an infantry thread alongside this one. Double the work for you, but we don't care.

Well you did say the conversion possibilities are endless..........

But does that also mean that the conversation possibilities are also endless?

Of course, even if you've only been on LAF a short time, you will have learnt a variety of ways to say "That's nice".

Well you might get your wish... I've just been assembling my forces for a game this weekend with Silent Invader at Matakishi's Tea Party, and I discover to my slight embarrassment that out of almost 130 assorted metal and plastic, foot and mounted Perry WOTR figures painted, based and ready for action, I have precisely 20 longbowmen

And as you, my learned Arlequin, will be the first to agree, whichever ratio of bow : bills and other arms you subscribe to, 1 bow : 6 bills/MAA/pikes/mercs/cavalry is almost certainly far too low!
So I've started building a shedload more longbowmen, which I might as well post on this thread as I go...

I am being creative with them

(Sorry Thorbjorn

Haha as long as it all makes it to Woking in November I don't give a darned.

This should run and run like Coronation Street, every old thespian ends up there sooner or later.

It will be fine, ask them to prove you're wrong...

Here we go then... Not strictly mounted men at arms, but having realised a late English medieval army with only around 15% longbowmen is not really enough, I have been busily constructing new bows - as ever, trying to mix and match parts to avoid the more predictable builds...

The first one... 'Just put those f*cking stakes in there, will you!'
