Xmas Salutations 2013
May I wish all my readers a wonderful Xmas holiday and I hope that you all have a fun filled day tomorrow opening presents and eating good food with friends and family.
And in the next few days I will be posting a report on my Risk: The Dalek Invasion of Earth, in particular the suitability of the Daleks for wargaming. The small ones are probably suitable for use with modern 15mm, being a couple of millimetres taller than my very old white metal ones that I have.
