"There is no grudge like a petty, hobby-related grudge."

--Maureen Johnson, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village.

Surely a Napoleonics player. Does anyone know what scale and rules?

I think the rules and the scale were the source of the grudge.

Heretical basing and wrong die type for certain, plus they probably ate all the snacks.

Arjuna01 Jun 2022 6:17 a.m. PST

This is Utter Drivel…

…not Napoleonic Discussion.

So, wrong board.

The lace on your officers for the 24th is incorrect sir.

i demand satisfaction!

Reminds me of another:

Scholarly disputes are so bitter, because the stakes are so small.

Bashytubits01 Jun 2022 7:55 a.m. PST

Arjuna, you are wrong, this is definitely the write board.

Arjuna01 Jun 2022 8:23 a.m. PST

Sir, I stand by my point.
This question is on a knife's edge and queerly belongs on Napoleon's board.
See for yourself:
Napoleon Cutting Board

So, if there still is a bone to pick, it better be leftover from Chicken Marengo.

EC, that's Henry Kissinger--"The reason that university politics is so vicious is because stakes are so small."

SBminisguy01 Jun 2022 8:30 a.m. PST

Damn you and your habit of pushing your infantry stands closer to target with your tape measure! A pox on you, Sir!

Why I did no such thing, Sir! Retract your calumny!

Never!!!!

Arjuna "queerly belongs on Napoleon's board."

No, that would be this

(Frank Richardson, "Napoleon: Bisexual Emperor.")

Arjuna01 Jun 2022 9:26 a.m. PST

This is ridiculous, lieber Herr Piepenbrink!
We're quirly not talking here about Napoleon's Bon'r parts!

Bashytubits01 Jun 2022 9:43 a.m. PST

Hmmm, well your Napoleonic jabs require a proper retort.

Arjuna01 Jun 2022 10:14 a.m. PST

Je m'avoue vaincue.

So, since my own filious minions made filet mignon out of me by shooting me in the back, me and my very own Private Parts wheeling-turn to Helena.
She always knows how to raise our spirits.
A real saint to a sinner like me.

plus they probably ate all the snacks.

… and they don't wipe their fingers.

By the quote, strictly it doesn't have to be a Nappy player. Or even a wargamer. Let's not forget boardgames:

Mind if I butt in? Do not forget about card games.

Just for the Napoleonic, not getting murdered in a quaint English village space cardgame freak.

Arjuna02 Jun 2022 3:21 a.m. PST

> Mind if I butt in?

That's fine by me.
I join the cat-and-mouse game as a copy cat killer.
