Hello Uncle,Originally Posted by chirine ba kal
Karim Missum believed that frontal assaults were for sissies. A real warrior had himself launched by trebuchet into the midst of the foe.
The Red Devastators are all like that.
Quick follow-up question. Could you give us a bit of history in regard to Fighting Bob's character? Was Karim a native, or a barbarian akin to the Glorious General? If you could say a bit about some of his exploits...?
Thanks,

I'm happy for you to hear that.If I may be permitted a personal observation, my blood work came back from my visit to the doctor's office. Gout can be a symptom of lead poisoning, and so I had it tested; I am happy to report that even after forty years of doing miniatures, I have no detectable amounts of lead in my system. My gout is plain old gout, nothing special...
Considering the conditions we used to work under at a certain place, I'm glad for MY sake as well.
I don't care if you respect me, just buy my fucking book.

Thank you! I have always been very careful, and it looks like it's paid off...That's happy news, and I'm glad you always taking the appropriate precautions has worked out.
He was one of the 'washed up in Jakalla' Haida Pakallans from the 1973-74 group. I'm told that when Phil went around the table and asked everyone what they wanted to be, Bob announced that he wanted to be Emperor. This, as you might guess, left Phil speechless, Phil having just done his introduction to Tekumel and Tsolyanu.
Bob went up through the ranks like an artillery barrage, as casualties in Red Devastation are usually pretty high - and welcomed, as a sign of devotion to Lord Vimuhla. Bob was, and still is, very dangerous on the table because he's both ruthless, brave, honorable, and smart.
My all-time favorite story is when the Tsolyani want to know if Baron Ald is in Ke'er; Bob volunteers to find out. Phil expected the usual PC sneak in and out, but Bob simply marched Red Devastation north, panicking everyone on both sides, banged on the gates of the city, asked if the baron was in, and on being told "no" simply marched back home again. Everybody was astonished, and more then a little aghast at the genie that they'd let out of the bottle.
He's like that in real life, too; an unstoppable force of nature...
True, true. I'm amazed that we're still alive, after that particular gig. I think of it every time I run across a tire weight.
looking back on it, I'm still amazed that we managed to survive the best and the worst that the game industry and the hobby has thrown at us, over the decades, and still managed to have a little fun along the way.
While I like to think I am special, my doctor assures me that unremarkable results are what one really wants on a medical test.My gout is plain old gout, nothing special...

It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
