Further to my earlier report on the PVO Strany game which Martin and I ran at COW in July, Jim Roche has kindly given me permission to use the photos he took of the game. I present three of them here for your further entertainment.

Your humble correspondent shows off 'Red 66' (a 1/100 scale MiG 21) during the briefing for the Soviet team.

Alex, John and Russell posing proudly with the toy inflatable Vulcan. Some people just have no shame. Which is handy if you need players for a silly game.

More shamelessness in the form of smug Soviets Nick D, John B and Chris P. Sadly the provision of authentic headwear did nothing to increase competence levels...

ReplyDeleteWonderfully silly stuff. The negative correlation between hats and effectiveness is well demonstrated in history too!
There's a Western Canadian saying that some one is "All hat and no land" meaning that they look the rural western bit (this being cowboy country after all) but have no experience in ranching or farming.

ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent saying!
I have a lot of military hats....
Do you own a cowboy hat yourself? I think we should be told.

ReplyDeleteI have photos of me in a kilt. I was four at the time.
So you're "All kilt and no claymore"?
The bloke in the blue hat...is he selling ice cream?

ReplyDeleteNo offence intended!

ReplyDeleteNone taken! I realized that we do have cowboy hat in the house, but it dates from my daughter's sparkle and pink phase so I'll pass on wearing it!
