(Have you ever been to his monument? Just wondering.)
I enjoyed it very much...seen it several times and have it on video. But accurate it is not, that`s my point.

Actually I often think it`s better not to watch anything other than well researched documentaries on one`s own national heros. You don`t see as many flaws if you don`t know the real history. Though it was the accents that were the worst bit here!

And yes I`ve been to the monument...and Stirling Castle. I only live an hour away from Stirling by car, and I know one of the archtects that is involved with restoring the Great Hall in Stirling Castle.

Nice castle...here`s a link for these who haven`t seen it. Lots of good pix.

I just began the story and it's going well. I haven't got the pics on the computer yet but when I do I'll try to post a link.


By the way, Lady Val, when is that Bannockburn renactment that they have every year. I'm interested in attending.

You don't have enough figures?
Just don't show much dead people!
Use everyone again in each picture :)

Did he make ten thousand Uruk Hai?
Do those fright knights look like Uruk Hai? No!
But does it look good and do you know they are Uruk Hai?
Yes!
Well all I mean is: few figures can still make great battles, 50 men on each side should be ok... I think...

Cedric the bull: "Hahaha Leo we're here to- wtf?"
*and the bulls see some happy knights bouncing at each other with carts*
Cedric (shocked): "I guess we got the wrong KK''

Hey thats great, I do have around 50 men on each side, I thought what kind of pointless battle it would be of only 100 men, I will try something out soon. Thanks for pics.

sadly progress with my story is at a standstill. I have to temporarily call off the story because I'm becoming quite busy with school. I may be able to start again some time next year. :(
