What rules will you be using and do you have anything in mind scenario wise? Drop me a line 'off piste' if this is still hush hush on roguejedi@btinternet.com.<br /><br />All the best and many thanks!<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-57387266275059484982013-12-23T16:05:40.006+00:002013-12-23T16:05:40.006+00:00As you Know I am planning an Arab Revolt game for ...As you Know I am planning an Arab Revolt game for Broadside 2014.

Later, O'Toole provided one of my favorite moments at a Baptist college when we screened "The Ruling Class" on a Friday night. I was one of the few bold enough to laugh out loud. My heresy did not go unnoticed. <br /><br />We will not see his like again....

He did say that Peter O'Toole even then had a reputation as a serious drinker.

He said a real character.<br /><br />regards,<br />Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-20461849565230222642013-12-18T10:15:58.722+00:002013-12-18T10:15:58.722+00:00I could not agree more.
