I won a cup - well a mug actually - M S Foy of http://prometheusinaspic.blogspot.co.uk/ was offering them free on his blog to people that could come up with a good reason why they should have one . Having just broke the handle off my mug I said I should have one as a replacement - and my cheekiness got me one - which duly arrived this morning . On one side it has a picture of Maximilien Sebastien Foy who was a French Napoleonic General .
and on the other a motto - 'Old Wargamers never die they merely reduce their Combat Effectiveness to zero'. Here we see the mug being used in combat - surrounded by gaming equipment and emergency rations .
Nice cup, but that Savage & Soldier ruler is far more intriguing.
ReplyDeleteRIP Lynn...
The rather battered 12" ruler was a free gift when I purchased 2 copies of the magazine of the same name about 20 + years ago at 'Northern Militaire' wargames show . Tony
DeleteHi Tony- Interesting Luck for being cheeky...nice mug too...those rations look good- we call them 'Westerns' here....it's 3:15am here in Sydney...cannot sleep: thinking about my 40mm Mars Project...I'll have a cuppa and see if that will induce sleep. Regards. KEV.
