I have a few questions for some one who owns the Roman Seas Roman Navy & Carthage Navy ships. 1. How many ships of each type do you have in your navy for fleet games? 2. Did you print them on card stock and put them together? Or did you print them on label paper and stick it to card stock and put them together? Looking at the ships, I see they look thicker that regular paper so I assume some how card stock is involved. Who am I kidding. I would not be able to put the ships together. Any one out there know of some pre-built Roman & Carthage ships for sale from Roman Seas? Or is there a service to assembles them for you? I would like to get into the game, but would not be able to put the ships together. PM me or email me at missykty@aol.com if you have some to spare or know of some one that does. I still would like answers to the questions though. |

In recent days, the main Italian newspaper published an article on the stature of Napoleon. It is not true that Napoleon was small. It reports the important parts. Marco link |

I read somewhere recently that he was 5 foot eight, not so short even today. |

Having visited the Musee d'invalids recently I think he was short by modern standards but, looking at the uniforms on display, he was as tall as his fellow commanders. Lannes was certainly as tall (or short) as Napoleon since both have tunics displayed side by side in one of the cases. |
