I shall have to look into it!

I would imagine he encountered all kinds of strange beasties while he was there, not to mention exotic and previously unknown tribes such as the Vulgarians, the Yada Yada Yadas, the Canadians, etc....<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-59378274684837094222013-09-03T22:12:34.684-03:002013-09-03T22:12:34.684-03:00Not easily as a Persian travelling through Roman t...Not easily as a Persian travelling through Roman territory. Even reaching the Black Sea would have been tricky but but possible, more likely would have been sailing around Africa. For that matter I could have Prince Michael cross the Sinai through Roman territory and set sail into the Red Sea where he encounters Sinbad or his grandfather.<br /><br />Luckily there are lots of other figures to do before I worry about a new hero and crew that I have no figures for.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-46423990912986335742013-09-03T16:18:51.802-03:002013-09-03T16:18:51.802-03:00Ah, yes.

Hal Foster was a little vague on timelines and no reason why a similar character could not be created, ships made, figures created. I'll file the thought for later. hmm ship to ship combat....hmmm Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-66845991532505500372013-09-03T10:24:12.269-03:002013-09-03T10:24:12.269-03:00Might I offer a wee little idea to percolate in yo...Might I offer a wee little idea to percolate in your brain? <br /><br />Think about the Arabian Nights stories . . . surely Sindbad might have sailed north of the Mediterranean on one of his voyages, eh?<br /><br /><br />-- Jeff<br /> Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-87127313717972106202013-09-03T09:10:11.084-03:002013-09-03T09:10:11.084-03:00Oh contraire.

I bought the pachyderm 10 years ago for the Sikh Wars but he was a bit rambunctious for a command elephant and has been trying to drag me into 40mm ancients ever since. This is my out. A place for the beast and some unused figure kits and a release on the 25's. <br /><br />Time to fire them out!
