I've heard that Cossacks are better than Poles - much braver and probably a little lighter to carry than a pole.
Can't say I've ever tried it though.
I bet Paul Saunders has played "Cossacks" on his PC. I haven't played it but watched someone doing so, and the graphics were impressive for that era.
I haven't played it either, but like you I've watched someone doing so. The graphics are indeed impressive; however I found the lure of the kettle on the other side of the room more appealing and rather that watch my friend and listen to the rather idiosyncratic running commentary I made myself several cups of tea instead. Oh, and Bill? You're thinking of cassocks if you mean UK choirboys - cossacks is what /Russian/ choirboys wear. -- To reply see 'from' in headers; lose the domain, and insert dots and @ where common sense dictates.

I would hope that Bill's thoughts are not straying anywhere near choirboys, he should leave that kind of stuff to Rooney. ;-) -- Gordon Harris

You're quite right Gordon - they're definitely not!

And have you ever tried kneeling on a cossack?
I seem to constantly trip over cassocks of grass when out on the hill - even when wearing tussocks instead of tights.
