Maths

[Sean Clark]

I was never great at maths. I could recite Shakespeare and tell you about different cloud formations, but I thought BODMAS was a childrens cartoon.

So imagine my suprise when sorting out my latest purchase of Dervish figures. I had miscalculated my requirements somewhat. I had ordered 10 packs more than I needed 

It's only money after all!

Not to worry, I'll find a use for them.

[Leman (Andy)]

Not my strong suit either Sean, although I did manage to pull off a half decent O level. The way chance etc is worked into rules I take on trust, especially as Martin knows his way around sums.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Sean, you say you were no good at maths, but I think you're struggling with a fundamental law of wargaming physics here too: it's actually a physical impossibility to have too many figures

The associated wargaming theory of relativity is that, if you do ever wish to offload "surplus" figures, they go into the great melting pot and can be reborn as something even more exciting

A bit like my 10mm ACW zouaves who are now French Tirailleurs Algeriens.

Or you simply top up your excess with even more figures to make another army! - works for me 
Don't you need 'farsunds of 'em' anyway?

No worries Sean

Just swap them when you come down.

10 Egyptian chariots?

Ha! Thanks Martin, but I'll keep them. I may try to do a larger battle Sudan game using CWB at some point.

I sent some of my Dervishes back in time (with a different paint scheme) to serve in the Abyssinian-Adal war.

Simons right, you can never have TOO Many Figures? Not possible!
They could even pop up in AK 47 ? With or without head swop ?
