Jim Copeland started it all during a discussion on ancient Lydian war-dogs:
Try Corgi's ( with an old Windsor Handler ).
That's a thought, they could be included in a HOTT "Windsor Royal Family" List.
I couldn't resist the opportunity:
Initial Thoughts on a HOTT "Windsor Royal Family" List
Stronghold: Windsor Castle (enemy elements attacking it must pay an extortionate price to enter it even if they capture, and therefore own, it)
Aside from the Corgis (Beasts) you could have:
At least one Shooter (Phil the Greek - 'Endangered species? Where?' BLAAAM!!!)
Behemoth (Although I believe that the Duchess of York is not really a member of the family any more.)
Flyer (Andy the Helicopter Hero)
Cleric (The Archbishop of Canterbury)
A 'Horde' (Even when they're dead they just don't seem to Di ....)
Any more takers?
There were. Jim Copeland again:
Figures available from all leading tacky gift shops around Tower of London / Buck House / Westminster Palace
Then Steve Burt joined the treason:
Sneaker (disgruntled Butler selling stories to the press)
Riders (Princess Royal plus others)
A few Knights, probably with Garters.
Maybe a Lurker (distant cousin with congenital deformities kept locked away in a potting shed)
I s'pose Beefeaters count as Blades?
Finally, South African ex-pat Alan Patrick felt obliged to participate:
Now, as a non-Brit in this enchanted isle it falls to me to assault the true sacred cows - Di, Eddie and the Queen Mum
Di is obviously a Goddess, her good offices entreated via rubbing a piece of Di memorabilia tat & chanting the magic mantra "marketing window of opportunity". Success ensures appearance of a radiant vision in designer frock and german car, a charity set up for your cause, and a soundbite on TV. You have to deal with the horde of seraphim, cherubim, PRagentsim, paparazzim etc. She will also manifest in earthly form and shag the nearest cad/prince/hooray henry/rugby captain/all 4, which is bad news if said is your beau. A Di Goddess must have a pond, obelisk and tourist gift shop manifested in your stronghold.
Eddie will attempt to involve other elements of either army in TV game shows, especially those involving getting wet, and generally waste their time. Suspected to be a bit drippy himself, a water lurker is perhaps the best definition.
The Queen Mum is the hardest to categorise, but a Saintly Paladin armed with handbag, hat, pink 2 piece suit and rolled up copy of "Sporting Life" is probably best. She should always be accompanied by suave ADC with Magic Potion tray (ice & lemon, shaken not stirred) and team of attendant doctors/life support machines/obituary writers when in action.
In addition, you get one element of Riders (Household Cavalry) per Royal fielded, and one of Foot Guards (Shooters?Blades), plus an option to field the Hordes on the civil list (hell, we're paying for them already)
So it's off to the Tower for the lot of us...
