Our other two cats are nearly 8 years old and relatively sedate, so I'd forgotten what it's like to have figures disappear from a table or shelf whilst my back was turned.<br /><br />Mind you, Gypsy Danger just loses them under the fridge. A cat we had in the UK actually ate a couple of elements of my 6mm Vikings once.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-60785572998289570492016-08-10T22:59:19.622+10:002016-08-10T22:59:19.622+10:00There's a refight a couple of posts further on...There's a refight a couple of posts further on :) And the bicentenary of this battle is only about six months away.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-68482083165816169642016-08-10T19:42:24.760+10:002016-08-10T19:42:24.760+10:00Beautiful cat, and figures.Beautiful cat, and figures.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132852154504487574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-90677327060551332182016-08-09T19:38:03.733+10:002016-08-09T19:38:03.733+10:00Nice little battle and great report.

Can't help thinking that San Martin deserved all his victories through good preparation whereas Bolivar was a lucky (and likeable) cad.
