As L.P. Hartley said "The past is a foreign country". Whatever one is re-enacting has no real connection to oneself. <br /><br />And as for accents, given the levels of emigration to the US in the 19th century I would have thought it likely that a significant proportion of both cowboys and civil war troops had European rather than American accents.Epictetushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993781308540523271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-89929824797200870502011-04-18T12:48:11.298+01:002011-04-18T12:48:11.298+01:00I couldn't agree more.. definitely a good Sal...I couldn't agree more.. definitely a good Salute but very little their that tempted me to part with my hard earned £'s...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-65440762340064208322011-04-18T11:48:35.126+01:002011-04-18T11:48:35.126+01:00We should have arranged to meet up!

There were some cracking games and I also couldn't resist Mutineer Miniatures - I bought a pack of sailors to go with the Maori Wars figures I bought from Empress. I find the most difficult part of Salute is always the decision of what new buys to paint first afterwards...<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.com
