Golf Channel does that, too. At least the split screen isn't as odious as cutting away completely for a commercial. You can still see what's happening in the game or tournament. Prost! Brad

When people say that football is more exciting than baseball, I point out that football is an hour-long game, played in 3 1/2 to 4 hours' time. Prost! Brad

I don't think the sculpt or casting is in error. I think that depicts two different positions in the saber drill. If there's an error, perhaps it's in the photos that are posted with the same designation. Have you tried reaching out to First Legion to ask? Prost! Brad

Yes! I bought a lot of the Alexander Grenadier sets when Guard Corps was still in business. That was a joint venture between Ed Lober and Alan Silk, who had their own lines, respectively. They did the sculpting here and had the casting done in Hong Kong by a company called FairTech, Inc...

If I'm not mistaken, we have a thread or subforum for Pickelhaube here in the forum. His figures were nice, but the namesake piece of equipment on his Imperial troops wasn't quite right. He made the rear brim a little too long, more like the British pith helmet than the actual Pickelhaube. You...

Meh. Campaign memorabilia has been sold from the early days of our republic. It always reflects prevailing tastes. I'm sure it's not uniquely American to have it. Prost! Brad

Yes, I also cut a piece of metal sheet for horses, if there's no kit base. I got some Stadden horse castings that needed bases, for example. Many kit horses that I get, like Imrie-Risley, come with a nice white metal base, and I use those. Agreed, hopefully that helps David. Prost! Brad

It might seem like a minor point, but it was a feature of the previous version. In my work, application development, when a new version lacks a feature that was present in a previous version, that's called a regression. Granted that it may be that the feature was dropped because the new...

Eddie has a phone?

I starting using steel bases made for wargamers, for my single figures. They are an inch square, which is about the size of the one-off bases I used to cut from copper roof flashing. I got them from War Game Accessories in Florida. Their website is www.wargameaccessories.com. I think they...

Yeah, I had the same thought, johnnybach. For his bases, he used metal stock that he cut to size and shape. David, you could look through his threads, because I asked him that very question in one of them. I had been using a piece of copper roof flashing for bases, and I was curious about the...

This is a repeat, so that probably annoys some, but-people who plant their slow butts in the passing lane and just cruise at or under the speed limit. People who don't pull over when you flash your headlights at them. And people who still sit in the passing lane when you pass them on the right...

The format of the new member list is a little cumbersome to use. The alpha list the old format featured was a little easier to use than the current search. Sure, you can search, but if you have the forum handle wrong, the search won't return what you're looking for. The new list is basically...

The Phillies have good broadcasters, on radio, even better because they're not former Yankees or Mets players. I don't read any sports articles, so I can't name one male sports reporter, let alone a female one. Well, maybe Jayson Stark, who wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer, before he went...

I'll also add that my own preference is to listen to the games on the radio. Radio is a much better medium for baseball; in fact, radio and baseball "grew up" together. TV broadcasts irritate me. For one thing, most of the TV broadcasters I see are pretty lousy at calling games, and the radio...

I was going to say that I don't think the LA Dodgers are known for setting attendance records-Brooklyn was another matter altogether. But when I looked up attendance numbers so far for 2024, I see that the Dodgers are in first place The Phillies have been known for setting attendance records...

I missed Monday's game because I looked at their website to check the schedule and I swear it showed no game Monday night. The minor league teams also showed a day off. I listened to last night's game. The Phils won, 6-2, and so, they've won the season series with 4 wins, no matter what...

We've gotten too used to expecting the federal government, and the state governments, to do for us. The turning point was the Great Depression. Prior to that time, there were depressions, but they were brief and we bounced back, generally. But by the 30s, the federal government had already...

Tom, you note that it's the original box, but your photos tantalizingly crop the label. :) Would you be able to post a photo of the entire label? Thanks! Prost! Brad
