1. Your most completed army?

Wellingtonic British & Allied - I have everything I could ever possibly need for every single battle they fought during the period (1 unit representing a brigade a la 'Napoleon's Battles' or 'Age of Eagles') and that includes the Portuguese, Netherlands, Nassauers, Brunswickers and Hanoverians.

2. Your most successful army?

I don't have successful armies.

3. Your most unused army?

I've got a few 15mm Cold War armies that haven't yet had a game - Polish, Canadians & USA.

4. Your most unable to sell on army?

Sell armies? What is this filth?!

5. Your most would save in a fire before running back for the dog/wife/kids army?

Wellingtonics - all of them.

6. Your most unusual army?

Welsh for the Battle of Fishguard 1797.

7. Your most I really need to finish that army?

28mm War of Spanish Succession (Front Rank). Bloody lovely models, but only done a brigade each of infantry and cavalry.

8. Your most likely to sell to Andy army?

See 4 above.
