(...) I just called as of 3pm Mon Oct 30, 2000 and I was told that 4819 will not be available until next year. The operator told me that there was a code of A1 for this set which she had to ask about. I do not know if the information she received (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It captures the sweep and movement of battlefields very well. The movie can also be a little tedious at points. Kurosawa's films always seem to hover around 1600 (firearms usually appear) and I recommend them in general: Seven Samurai, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Recently, I saw "Throne of Blood" (1957), a great film by Akira Kurosawa. Subtitled, of course. Its a remake of "Macbeth". It is also called "Cobweb Castle" and "Spider Web Castle", or by its Japanese title, "Kumonosu jo". This movie is in (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hey all, I received a baggie of chrome parts from an Ebay auction today and outfitted my knights with them. It's great to see the breastplate available in such a small set, and the chrome Dragon Master helm is great! I hope this is a trend that (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

I loved the book Shogun. I've read it a few times, it is very enjoyable. A glimpse into a very different culture and time period from my own. I also remember that there is a short comparison to life in medieval Europe, through Blackthorne's thoughts (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
