I believe that I have listened to all of your podcasts.From their very inception. Based on that experience ... there aint no way no one is going to notice you! šŸ˜†

BTW, is it really nearly 5 years of podcasting? I wasted my youth and now apparently I am wasting my senior years as well!! 🫣

Accuracy vs. frivolity. They've both got something to recommend them. 🤪

Enjoy your obligation free day out Ken. A bit far from NZ with so little notice so sadly I won't be able say "hi".

As an aside ... which one are you in the photo? šŸ¤”

Blog's take a surprising amount of effort. At least in my experience! All power to you. šŸ‘

It's been a while so may I present another remembrance. A French battalion - the 4/132nd Ligne circa 1813 - with some regimental command lurking safely to the rear.

Calpe Miniatures.

Outrageous. I was under the impression that the Swiss were more martial than that! A Swiss pitman would not go without his pike ... and the Swiss wouldn't make cheese with holes in it!! 🤭

Sadly the wrecking ball does not seem to have put in an appearance.

Perhaps it's still on its backswing! 🫣

"With little room to manoeuvre the Carthaginians were pressed in and slaughtered!"

Has this gone a little off script?!

I’m in total agreement regarding painting guns and limbers. Too many fiddly iron bits.

In my world brushes, paints and other suchlike consumables would not count against a no purchase pledge.

Interesting. Internecine squabbles between monasteries over a religious relic or two. Meanwhile the nuns operate as spoilers working on their own nefarious schemes - the demise of the overbearing, self righteous (and sexually demanding & deviant! 😱) monks. Interesting. Very interesting.

Nice monkery. You surely must have more monks, priests, nuns etc figures than some have in their Napoleonic armies! Surely this is a madness! Albeit a madness of a most pleasurable and viewable flavour. šŸ¤“
