Well, that report was less than bland!  Excellent work.  :-*  

Judging by the last picture, Tubby must be more dangerous than he looks, or is  he just angry that after all this time Warlord are about to replace him with a younger model?   >:D

The German tank is definately from Warlord. The Mark VI was from BEF, now Warlord I think.

Nice.

I just wish I could get hold of the Stronghold stuff, he ignores my orders. Hope Warlord come up with the LDV weaponry.

Agreed, I rang him some time ago, he said he would be back in business at some point but didn't say when/  I doubt that his stuff will reappear, a shame as he had a very nice catalogue of stuff.

Yes, should have just run over the buggers, I'm too sporting by half.

Another splendid, well-fought and interesting game.  ;D


But, David, VON Bikkel, sounds like pretensions of Prussian aristocracy to me!  :o

Forgiven.....  :D

But the game does show that there is really no need for a new Dad's Army set, the Foundry one is pretty complete.  :P
