Dave and everyone else,
The Plastic Warrior Show is held at the Winning Post pub in Twickenham. Mike and I will be going and I know Brian Carrick will be there too, as well as Tim Gow with whom I intend to have shady business dealings....
Congratulations Dave, an event worth missing the PWS for I think!

Ah ha..! Well let's just say that my project to put on a Little Big Horn Battle Cry scenario using Britains Deetail figures is about to receive an enormous boost! When I get back from the show this afternoon I will have more US 7th Cavalry than I will ever need and a quarter of the number of mounted Indians I require for the scenario.

This sounds most exciting, l do hope that an agreement was reached with Tim. Do post some pictures sometime. I am reminded of Waddington’s “ The battle of the little big horn” which l adored as a boy. It is still in a cupboard upstairs.

Ah yes, I remember that Waddington's game. I had a copy until a few years ago when I sold it. Sadly the figures had become very brittle but I enjoyed the game itself.
Tim and I had come to an agreement re the figures before the show-I officially retract my tongue-in-cheek suggestion that any shady dealing was involved! The US cavalry are just wonderful with a better paint job than I expected. I have enough for A Gentleman's War and The Men Who Would Be Kings as well the Battle Cry scenario I mentioned earlier. At the show itself I even managed to get the five Teepees I need for the Indian camp in the LBH scenario. I also persuaded Mike to buy the 1975 Airfix Waterloo game!

That sounds most exciting. Do let us see some pictures of your purchases and subsequent games.

Oh, so now I’m accused of unshady dealing? I’m hurt!

You can never have enough 'big boy's' toys.
