I don't even like hero centric movies or books. <br /><br />That may seem odd given my attraction to Prince Valiant but there it is the setting of the stories, as much as anything and despite his occasional heroics, most of the interesting stories involve tactics and armies, even if they are sometimes small armies. <br /><br />Anyway I've reached a point in life where I'm happy to be who I am and not worry about it.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-28027617621622623532021-04-11T22:18:52.515-03:002021-04-11T22:18:52.515-03:00Me too.Me too.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-62697197802967786352021-04-11T20:47:39.338-03:002021-04-11T20:47:39.338-03:00For any of the 'skirmish games' at 1:1 sca...For any of the 'skirmish games' at 1:1 scale you need to have some heroic tale to be told.<br /><br />I thought that your Prince Valiant era stuff would be great for this sort of story-telling approach.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-37609892301499846402021-04-11T10:07:33.467-03:002021-04-11T10:07:33.467-03:00Looking forward to Blue and GreyLooking forward to Blue and Greyfireymonkeyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833974263127787678noreply@blogger.com
