So, you're saying I didn't win :?: ...but you're not looking at the full arc of the trajectory, which took the plumbata just over everyone's head, sticking it safely in J6 dirt, behind and to the right hand side of all the humans. Safety first, you know. Sigh.

Never mind. :?

I think you are safe by the tents: the most innacurate offender stopped lobbing plumbatae a while ago (I was getting plumbata elbow Big Grin )

Look, to clear it up, Andy Dove realised we were being attacked from behind. Only he can lob a plumbata 50m behind his own line while still facing forwards. :wink:

I've been there - and done that! You can see why training with blunt versions is a MUST!
