I do believe I finally found the perfect general's name for my ancient Macedonians and Carthaginians

Cool. Link? I need one. Back in the last century, I had name tags for generals in my armies: Roman, Gaius Inflammatus Sphincter. (I was using Bad Latin long before 40K or Harry Potter. 🙄) Persian, Spitonsiduaxes Carthaginian, Handilbar Barca

I googled "Mediocrates tee shirt". There were many links for tee shirt suppliers. Average cost for 2X Male was $16. USD 👍 Some also had "University of American Samoa Law School" shirts. From Better Call Saul. I have a birthday coming up…

In the spirit of all things Roman, for my Roman army I had the Legate Noxious Carbuncle and the Tribune Poisonous Fungus For the Gauls, Gottagetafix and Wannahaveafix

Stomphen Smashflat— Orc general. Hovart Helmblind— Dwarf general (in a closed-visor helmet) Gotta love Mediocrates, though.

I have that T-shirt and am quite fond of it. The late Wally Simon often used a Roman General Flatulus Maximus which I've often borrowed.

Your Carthaginian should be Mediocrabal. Just saying.

Your Carthaginian should be Mediocrabal. Just saying. Maybe a descendant of a 1st war Greek mercenary?

My Samurai general is Itchy Crotchy! He has won many duels too!

I have a Mongol general who, due to an unfortunate decision to paint him with a red coat with light grey fur trim, goes by the name Santa Khan.

I forgot to mention my Gallic chief, Inebriorix. Gosh, I was witty that weekend!

Got my t-shirt today, I just have to wait for the British weather to get warm enough to wear it!!!
