  1. In the motherland here so never heard of hotlead before. I am guessing a Canadian Con? Looked good and nice to see the usual regional variations expected from another continent. Makes a change from seeing Wellington taking on the French in the Spanish deserts! Thanks for posting. Drew Essex Warrior and Age of Eagles fan !
