10mm or 15mm?

[FierceKitty]

A big advantage in my opinion of 10mm Pendraken over Adler 6mm is that the Pendraken figures are much more durable. I am clumsy and drop figures and bases all the time both playing and painting the Adler figures tend to break constantly especially the bayonets the Pendraken never do. Now if Pendraken can just make some new figures for the French Revolutionary period or some 1806 Prussians!!!

You should see the "jelly swords" their Gauls are armed with.

One of the few movies I actually liked him in.

What about the moment in Planet of the Apes where he is clearly struggling not to cry out "Let my people go!"?

C'mon. Charlton Heston has been in some great films:

"Soylent Green" ... Nom, nom, nom.
"Ben Hur" ... now I want Chariot Armies
"El Cid" ... really fine acting in the last few scenes from Charlt. You could really believe he was dead.
"Major Dundee" ... A Sam Peckinpah post-ACW film with Richard Harris co-starring. All you need to know really.
"The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge" ... now I want the 3rd season of "the Musketeers"
"The War Lord" ... spooky Norman, which reminds me, I need to get a haircut.
"The Agony and the Ecstasy" ... I always wanted to Pope to look up at the completed Sistine Chapel ceiling and say "no ... I was thinking of Disney characters."
"55 Days at Peking" ... Didn't get the full drift of the story, but I didn't see any pugilists of flat faced dogs at all.

.. and my favourite ....

"The Dream and the Heartache", a little known 1958 suspense film in which Charlt plays an artist who find he cannot work in the big city, and so moves to the sticks. He takes over a dilapidated cottage (and here it gets very "Houseboat" ... but Cary Grant did it better) and somehow collects an odd assortment of people and animals, drawn by his "big city" ways. He finds himself, and begins a very productive period. His works sell but he finds that he cares nothing for the money as he gets more and more drawn into the rural lifestyle. The final third of the film gets a bit creepy as things begin to go wrong. He cuts his hand on a loose piece of glass that shouldn't be there ... an electric drill he is using has an inexplicably bare wire ... he narrowly escapes burning saving his horses from a barn fire ... Is this turn of events sheer bad luck ... or is someone out to get him?

The "Dream and the Heartache" was a critics favourite, but flopped at the box office. It was in fact a remake of a British film "The Techno Story".

Yep cant think of a single Napoleonic battle that you can represent using multi stand battalions, unless of course you have a 30 ft x 18 ft table (requires 10 ft long arms of course)

And of course theres the other thing, who really believes that Wellington or Napoleon actually ordered individual battalions to form square/line/column? All a general would know would be where a brigade/battalion was, he wouldnt have a clue as to what poncy formation dance they were performing. So the question is are you a general or a colonel?

Does a General de Division count?  

It's true, the whole forming squares and etc should be automatic (or rather, done at the battalion level) instead of ordered, whereas the general and give the order to prepare (like in Blucher).

But... 6mm are so fragile!

EDIT: Quote fixed.

You OIK !  (I missed this earlier !)
Spooky Norman ?
You sure you're not thinking on "Spiny Norman"

Still keep a handful in one of the cupboards.....along with a packet of 3 inch wood screws, just in case anyone really annoys me.

I'd buy 1806 Prussians like a shot!

http://myblog-lekw.blogspot.com/

My Adler 1806 Prussians. The castings are very nice but I am constantly gluing the bayonets back on or dealing with figures breaking at the heels and its to the point where I am almost afraid to take them out of the storage box. Would love to do this army with a Pendraken range!!!
