And there will be much rejoicing, and no minstrel shall uneaten go  ;)

You certainly have a knack for making these BTD figures look good, Simon  8)  

Shots of the whole Roman army in situ at Partizan eagerly awaited here as well

Great looking unit!!  I'll see you at Partizan in Sept as I'm there doing a BIG early Dark Ages game with James Morris...

Great!  Be good to see you again.  Sounds as though we're all doing our favourites too - you and James with Dark Ages, Simon and I with Romans!

Cheers,
Phil

Hello there Phil...Yes indeed...you can't beat big games with Romans or with Dark Ages stuff! (and if you thought that the last game James and I were involved in at Partizan was big, welll....you ain't seen nothin' yet... ;) )

Hail Caesar actually...lots and lots and lots of toys on the table...not just mine and James', but several other folks' models as well. It really is big! We've already played it out once and Partizan will be the re-run...
