Happy Birthday Winston.
Happy 138th birthday, Winnie.
Great article. Happy Birthday Winston.
Great article, thanks for posting LB. Happy Birthday to Churchill. Earlier this year I read Carlo D'Este's book Warlord: A life of Winston Churchill at War it was a fascinating read. I only knew the basics about Churchill and this book really taught me alot. One of the many things I enjoyed learning was that at a young age Churchill wargamed with miniatures on the floor of his house. :)

On an added note the novelist H.G. Wells actually wrote a book on miniature wargaming, Little Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Wars).

Yeah, I've read that. Very cool to see wargaming back in his day.
