Being a mostly visual diary of the creation of high quality, historically accurate 25mm/28mm scale terrain
for a refight of the battle waged by the British and Afghans on July 27th, 1880,
in time for its recent 130th anniversary on Tuesday, July 27th, 2010.
Above is a pic of Lt. Colonel James Galbraith, Regimental Colour in hand, alongside Bobbie the regimental dog and some of the other "Last Eleven" survivors of the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment, making their last stand in one of the walled gardens just South of Khig village, a few miles West of the Afghan town of Maiwand.

SURRENDER (YOUR CHARMING RULES)
Great battle report but the insults you hurl on Mulehead and the One True Rule will return as vipers to strike you on your path to Chitral and the sun will surely bleach your bones along side those of the treacherous Umra Khan and Buda Khan for your cheap tricks.
After employing Tibetan Ninja Monks with cloaking ability to rescue his sister and her family from their comfortable guest quarters at the Malakand Cantonments, Capt. Shanks AKA: Gul Akbar Khan -- follower of the False Fakir Mulehead Khan, promoter of the Untrue Rules TMWBK, and notorious frontier brigand -- waxes poetic RE:"Buda Khan" and"Cheap Trick"...
This latest effrontery demands a riposte...
...with appropriate instrumental accompaniment for fans of the BUDOKAN:
What an EPIC post! I found myself singing along to your words and laughing my ass off. I love Cheap Trick and wore this album out in high school. How did you imbed the music track? I assume it’s the same process for a video?
These false rule heretics must be taught a lesson…..
Many thanks for the comment, Sarge!!! Yes, I think it used the "add video file" tool. And a thousand times YES to teaching the False Rule heretic a lesson... written in blood and steel!!! ...and of course lead for the little soldiers.
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the "Surrender" opus, pancerni! Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment -- and of course any friend of the Flame is a friend of mine!
I love it!
