I have played a decent amount amount of historical wargames, not a great
deal, but a reasonable amount. Never heard the grognard bit before though.
Maybe it's a European thing? Maybe I just don't listen to what others say? :-(
I'll have a look at the website. Thanx.

Wahoo, another curry lover. I love a nice Tikka Masala, or a lovely mild
Balti, especially with a nice dose of cheesey cheesey bread. But nothing
goes better then a great chicken vidaloo. Really cleans out every system of
the body. Oh boy. And yes, I can also relate to the effects.
