A dull alternative I know but it works well and within my gaming it is perfectly OK to ask what the opposition troops are - just not their morale!<br /><br />Yes they are both disgruntled - Hyde-Bowned because of his stinging rebuke from 'Old Nosey' and De La Salle because he is unhappy at the shoddy staff work and ambiguous orders.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-37117885615877284472012-01-10T05:29:19.234+00:002012-01-10T05:29:19.234+00:00Hi Geordie,
