Hilarious intro! Can’t wait to see Dave’s new dice bag! 🙂
Good point Paul, come on Neil post the picture I sent you last week 🙂
I’m sure I remember someone saying that you could use plastic Warlord Portugues and/or British figures as American Line with only minor modification. Any opinions?
Also could you post the link to the head light thingie? I’ve found this one:

Is it what you were talking about?
Thanks, great show (as always)
Hi Stuart
to be honest I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve heard similar things, I guess it depends on the style of US uniform you want to try and model as there were 3 worn during the period.
being a lazy gamer I decided to go for the metals from Brigade and Knuckduster but a bit of plastic surgery could be fun to try
Just got to listen to this the other night and was wondering if it’d be possible to get a Show Link to the opti-visor Dave had ordered and gave a glowing review to. I suspect it may have been in an older episode, but can’t find a show page for anything older than this one. Thanks!
Oops, just found the episode page with the Show Link, carry on, nothing to see here! 🙂
In Mike’s 1812 review a couple of books were referenced – can you provide titles and authors please
