I'll see if I can dig the exact quotation up....<br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-57850586523145214822010-02-24T16:17:33.702-05:002010-02-24T16:17:33.702-05:00Thanks for the shout out, James.

Your kung fu is indeed powerful.<br /><br />Anyway I agree I probably shouldn't be reading too much into Gygax's credit for the set...could just as well be a marketing ploy as anything else. I do love me some Grenadier minis though.<br /><br />Has anyone seen hirelings and torchbearers in current production by manufacturers? Maybe Otherworld will get to that some time.<br /><br />Anyway thanks for the traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-13122965120180788302010-02-24T14:55:13.377-05:002010-02-24T14:55:13.377-05:00Great nostalgia (as noted also by one of Mr Monaco...Great nostalgia (as noted also by one of Mr Monaco's readers).

I particularly liked that so many of them were modelled with torches, lanterns, etc. -- they looked like dungeon explorers, not like mercenaries.Ian Sturrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449065244623947284noreply@blogger.com
