    Exactly Vincent. I would not want to mess with him. He may only be Cv(O) but I think I'm Cv(I) . . .

    So you think the Median cavalry looks mean? I think they are decidely average. Only good use is as a mode if transport.

          Ben Vartok The reins are made of Gimp, which is a very thick thread. My wife is a tailor so I have a supply

Hmmm, an option and we might be able to exchange for other goods, eg I am replete in tufts. What diameter is your stuff, my little research so far has found 1mm options. Probably will do 8 + 3 generals, 11 Four horse chariots.
