After being accused repeatedly of being a stitch counter by webby and Heb..
webby posts to tell us how many rows of stitching a pair of us combats should have and how the SOF ones are wrong.
I'm going to resurrect that *every* time anyone accuses me of being anal...





"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Surely Webby is looking to avoid being seen as anal by increasing the stitchs in his breeches ? ![]()
LOL, Webby has split every pair of trousers he has played in - he now reinforces them before using them! To be fair - take a look at the rows of stiching in your jeans, one row won't do for any pair of trousers, let alone combats ![]()

Oh i do see his point its just the utter irony that the first time stitches have *literally* been counted is the chief accuser of 'stitch counting'.





"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Aye, irony not lost on me! He didn't say how many stitches to the inch though...

meh... I was discussing stitches with a fellow re-enactor on sunday... Just like me he gets his mum to do the machine sewing and does the hand sewing himself... lol ![]()
My neighbor does my machines stitching but small repairs and small insignia i tend to do myself.

Do all my own whilst the missus is out . ![]()
More irony
Mr 'CR was biased' Spiers is planning a scenario where the allies defend fixed positions all day and have a tank...
I dont know whether he's spent a whole five minutes thinking that one up or perhaps a brain busting ten.
Wherever he ends up doing it i'd be interested to see how it goes.





"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I think quite possibly we ought to keep out of his thread and let him bury himself - he has only played two airsoft games and thinks he can run one on a golf course. Let it die a death - at least Guy has made him realise there is more to it than coming up with a one sentence outline scenario!

Agreed, i just put the response in to show i was being constructive and not just shooting him down.

You've got my measure to quickly ...
..I'm hoping his musings might attract other people to help out and hey presto a new game....or it dies a death and he's greatful for what he's got .....win win either way ![]()
