Seeing your castle's square towers ...Ross Mac,<br /><br />Seeing your castle's square towers reminded me that my tinplate castle also used to have some smaller square towers. They must have been lost at some time in the past.<br /><br />As for your definition about why you wargame ... well I wish I had written it as it exactly encapsulates what I do on a personal level ... and I will probably write a blog entry to that effect!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-83581780201059148002014-07-29T02:43:29.868-03:002014-07-29T02:43:29.868-03:00Photos look great.I too am intrigued by the forthc...Photos look great.I too am intrigued by the forthcoming Jaeger...tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-74752484230236478712014-07-29T00:42:56.622-03:002014-07-29T00:42:56.622-03:00I'm probably being a bit literal-minded, but I...I'm probably being a bit literal-minded, but I can't see any figure in the HistoriFigs Scruby lists which could plausibly be a Jaeger, so I'm intrigued as to what you're going to use.<br /><br />As for "studying history but playing a game with fictional armies of toy soldiers" that sounds good to me.Steve Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784652695519954845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-9832028229823602932014-07-28T23:32:07.094-03:002014-07-28T23:32:07.094-03:00Very nice looking castle.
