Hey, I would have tried the rat too!

The rat *did* eat his soldiers…. if a rat ate my minis, I'd be cheesed off, too….

Gee, I thought that my spouse was a little put off by my obsession with the little men. At least she hasn't led a palace coup (not yet) and had me deposed.

Very interesting indeed.

The fact he wanted to modernize the army, an idea that is rarely if ever popular with a nations military, does suggest that at least some of his antics were more for performance than personality.

However I must say, 'hanging the rat' for the murder of two toy soldiers, thats pretty good sign of either a genius.. or a Nut.
