So now to the Regional delicacies, which one has John chosen

Rajput Curry:- aggressive and spicey, one of my favourites
Hindu Curry :- more conventional
Sri Lankan Curry :- Less aggressive but lots on the plate
The less popular though very much liked by Don McHugh the Muslim Curry
Very rare but tried by Tim Porter The Maratha Curry, not sure if he liked it

Then we are onto fusion foods,with the cross between steppe and indian cultures with a dash of Hogworts the Muguls sorry Moghul Curry, an old favourite but gone of it recently but still a good one.

Well whats it to be

Cheers

Alasdair

Curry was the right answer to the first part of the puzzle but we are talking National Treasure type clues here. What do you have with your curry?
John

Hunter how did you get 15 shot. 18 perhaps?
John

My head hurts, (hunter sort him out) and personally tends to be a Lamb Korma or Lamb Passadanna, but couldn't find those in the lists, other obvious choice is Rice

This ones easy.

What do you have with your curry? Obvious answer is lager.

National Treasure in Scotland? Beer

Biggest Scottish Brewery? Scottish and Newcastle

Who owns S&N? Carlsberg Group

Where is Carlsberg's HQ? Copenhagen

Copenhagen is the capital of which country? Denmark

Therefore your army choice is Danish The best army in the world (probably!!!)

Don

oh aye. 18 shot right enough. john is leading you fellows as merry a dance before the basho as he hopes to do in basho. pity its the dance of the seven army surplus blankets. cmon john declare and be damned. hunter.

And where do you think of when you think of rice?
Come on guys Indiana Jones or Nicolas Cage in one of the National Treasure movies would have cracked all this by now.
By the way watch out for large rolling boulders and spears coming out of the walls.
John
By the way Carlsberg don't do wargame's armies but if they did it would probably be mine. That is not a clue but a gratuitous throwaway line which I wished I actually believed.
Richard can I change please?
John

c'mon richard. at least meet john half way and let him change ..... to the DBMM basho preferably. hunter.

Afraid of the competition are you Hunter? Well I suppose your Army has come a cropper for the last two weeks.
John

Scottish and Newcastle is actually owned by Heineken. So, if we're looking at a bunch of English, Scots and Dutchmen this would actually be a clue to Hunter's army!

If we're talking rice then the obvious place I think of is China. Ming or Qing? My money would be on Qing.

erm ...... dont forget the irish (dragoons) and danish (shot) in my polyglotonus pick! is there a prize for having the most nations represented in your army?

Qing good, played at warfare and beats all TYW armies but struggles more against early armies

cheers

Alasdair

for gawds sake john put 'em oot their misery - the lists are all in anyway! hunter

Now where does the best China come from?
John

Miessen?

Messsing mair like.

Dear Rabid dug sorry spotted dug, settle down now and chew your bone.
By the way are you a natural spotted dug like 101 others or is it an infection that is causing the spots.
By the way try again with the best china, china.
John

crickey - i put the list in and i dont get the "clues". dusty bin? pack it in! hunter

Hunter, forget about the clues and concentrate on your performance at Britcon. With a nom de plume like Spotted Dog a lot of players will be expecting you to come back with your tail between your legs. It is up to you to make sure that it does not come back to bite you and that you return North like the dog with the bone.
P.S. Don't forget your Hunter Scooper.
John
