Thanks

Brendan,

Thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for the response to my messages. Very
helpful. I will be ordering some figs from Eureka as well as GZG in the near
future.

Really like the OUDF figs. They look very nice.

Thanks again and happy gaming.

Andy.

1) Thanks to Chris and Kevin for the recipe, though I'd be interested to know
a bit about this Flow Magic or Magic Flow Aid or whatever
it was....????

2) Beth's List, Derek's List.... we all know Derek's List is Beth's List if
she wants it. (He may have been infantry, but he weren't dumb).

3) Beth: Men have many weak points. I can imagine many a human Captain, upon
sighting a Phalon fleet, feeling extremely inadequate. The phrase "Phalon
Construct" takes on a whole new meaning.....

4) A star wars moment. One of the best parts of the original Han Solo novels
by Daley was the beginning of one, where he ended up following his
supercilious and arrogant (and not half as talented) boss (an aerobatic pilot)
through his routine. The boss did it in a slight aerofighter. Han did it in a
bulk freight barge. Now that's
the difference between _thinking_ you are
great and not having to think about it....;)

It depends on who's working on the list. If it's Derek, I may have cause for
convcern. If it's Beth, well, between her kochte'd dice and my Teske field,
I'm not worried.

It sounds alot like the flow stuff you use when developing film to get the
water to fl ow off the negative instead of leaving drip marks. It turns out
that is repackaged dish soap.

Maybe that is why the ships look like they do, the engineer them for affect on
the races they fight. Makes me wonder what the ones designed for Kra'Vak look
like.

So make the captains of the sjips near Phalon Space female. They won't be
impressed by sheer size?

Gracias,

In fact, the Ph miniatures are built to drawings..including
measurements...provided by the Phalons. Accuracy of same...well, there's a
reason we regard Phalons as untrustworthy:

"This is Captain Liiar of the Phalon SDN Maacho." "SDN? Nonsense, from its
size, it's a battlecruiser." "No, I assure you it's a SDN" "What? It's not big
enough." "Trust me, it's ten phuul from bow to stern." etc

There's the old joke/apocryphal story (depending on where you hear it)
of the US Military in the 50s or 60s trying to score a psychological point
over the Russkies in the Cold War by ordering one million condoms for the
US Army from a Russian rubber manufacturer - the order specifies all to
be in "size 12 inch".

The Russian plant fulfils the order, shipping all one million off in crates
labelled "Medium".......

;-)

(OK, so you've all heard it before....)

Okay, *that* was good enough to forward to work. Yes I will remove your
name....

I've always heard it as WW2 Britain sending Russia condoms as war materials,
with the order from Churchill to have the crates marked "extra small".
