OldDrewId told me once that "one of these days I'm going to describe an NPC as a hunchback with 3 arms and a bad comb-over" and I would just say "hold on, I've got that guy here somewhere...".  We laughed about it until I actually found a mini, well, that had 3 arms and a bad comb-over.  It really wasnt funny anymore after that ;^)<a href="http://www.newwave.org/minis/excalibur/fearlesspics/ex9153.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.newwave.org/minis/excalibur/fearlesspics/ex9153.jpg</a>We're so geeky that I've actually taken a digital pictures of a few of our setups 'for posterity's sake'.  It's really kinda sad how much we enjoy our toys sometimes, but the good thing is for all that terrain, we can get it out and on the table remarkably fast.  It's like a Nascar pit crew when everyone is itching for a combat and we have a cool scenario to set up.</blockquote>
