A show full of Gerrys!
7tv looks like a rabbit hole i would never climb out of, I’ve managed to avoid them so far 😬
Pillage, loot and Plunder ?
Any more P words in there ? 😉
Really curious about Pillage but won’t pick up the starter. Down for Vikings. Would rather have a different faction than Irish.
😁 🤞🏻
Great show. Lots to look at. This was exactly the same amount of time as it takes me to build 10 Orc Gore Riders. Please can the show always be this long in case I need to build some more another time, thanks 🙂
