You sounded like von Stroheim the way you said that  :o

Well, one of them is potentially having his head chopped off, so, yes it did.  ;)

Well, to sound like von Ströheim, it would have been, "I haf plans für Curr und den Yeti."

Don't know, is Yeti masculine or feminine?

Should that not be: "Für Curr und den Yeti, ich plans gehaben"? You have to Yoda-ize your sentences in Deutsch.

As for the Yeti's sexuality, I suggest you ask it...

Frankly, I wouldn't want to place any untoward suggestions in its mind.

Foreign word, therefore Neuter, I'd guess.

,,Das Jeti ist in das Wohnzimmer'' or something.

Unless 'Yeti' is just the Tibetan for 'Jüte', that is. But that would rather rely on yetis coming from Scandinavia.

Well ge- forms the past participle of the verb, so that would come out in the literal sense as something along the lines of 'I had plans', but to say 'I had plans' you would actually need to say 'Ich hatte Plaene' (I think!)

To say, 'I have plans' would be 'Ich habe Plaene', and in the context of that sentence it would be along the lines of
"Für Curr und den Yeti habe ich plaene". But that would be plans as in maps, so you actually need the future tense, so you would need to say "Für Curr und den Yeti werde ich plaene haben"

This is going back to my A-Level German, I stand to be corrected  :D

Have I just gone into far too much detail?  o_o

I believe the jaegers you're talking about are the ones also available from Northstar in their 1866 range.  ;)

Hi Shelldrake,

I've read the review, left a comment and posted a link on the IHMN blog.

Getting feedback from people who have actually spent money on your efforts is so important, so thank you.

Cheers,

Thanks - hopefully people find the review useful.  And thanks for helping out on the unicycle rules on the zombie forum  :)

Shhhh! They are supposed to be secret!  ;)  

If you go telling people about them there will be a run on Unicycles. This will create a shortage and prices will become inflated to artificially high levels. Ruthless speculators will invest pension funds in them causing manufacturers to borrow to meet the new requirement. But when people find out that they need military training to use the aforesaid secret vehicles, they will abandon plans to set-up Unicycle Polo clubs.

The market will collapse leaving pension funds bereft of money to pay their many dependent veterans who shall be turned out onto the street, causing civil unrest. Meanwhile Unicycle manufacturers, who will have geared up for the expected boom, shall go under as they are unable to service their extortionate loan interest payments. Their staff shall also be turned out onto the street to add to the growing anarchy.

Before you know it the government has fallen and the very Empire is at risk.

Are you some sort of dastardly Prussian to have hatched such a sinister plan?

Let us make it plain Ladies and Gentlemen. There are no such thing as military Unicycles, nor Lancers trained in their use. It is all a ruse. Now please move along, there's nothing to see here...

Given what figures I have ordered as a Prussian company and how I will use them to become zombies instead of the Jagers, I might well be...   >:D
