More Russian extravaganza movies: Taras Bulba

[Hammers]

While looking for a teaser of Admiral Kolchak at You Yube (now there's a quagmire where you can easily loose 30 miniutes while looking for something completely different) I came across this:



Surely it must cossacks sort under Swashbuckling?

[Plynkes]

But where's Tony Curtis?

You know, this isn't going to help cure you of your Cossack hat fetish now, is it? Just the other day Sickly and I were laughing at the bewildering array of daft Cossack hats in the Great War Russian Osprey. We figure we need to get some too.

I have a Soviet army hat I bought from a Russian soldier in Berlin in 1987, but sadly there was no false beard attachment  

You'd think they would be general issue to all armed forces.

Cossacks fall under swashbuckling. Stop snooping through my game notes.  :wink:

Oh dear, that had me for a while - I was mixing my Bulbas with my Bulbuls.

What was the advert that appeared in the UK with Abdul and the Hungarian? guy for, was it beer? :

[Captain Blood]

It was Bull's Blood red wine wasn't it? From (allegedly) somewhere in the Balkans... Probably made in Warrington, same as 'Vladivar Wodka'  :wink:
