Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - former leader of IS

This seems like a good time to roll out the vaudeville eulogies.

* His demise might be described as an unfortunate accident, but in fact it was neither.
* His condition is described as satisfactory.
* May his successor enjoy similar success.

We'll never forget you Allan Baker.

I think you'll find that's the 3rd Foot and Mouth. Don't forget your underwear, the wind whistles through the pass something wicked . . .

Steve J

I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times over the past few years and he was a true gent and great to talk to about our wonderful hobby. He will be sadly missed :(.

Norm

Sad news, I know he was actively gaming recently. His magazine 'Practical Wargamer' was a real cornerstone to my hobby. Condolences to all who were close to him.
