@poesel71 (Markus) was down in Johannesburg a couple of weeks ago for work and we very appropriately met at the South African National Museum of Military History on Sunday 25th November for a little war stuff tour, a couple of beers and lunch -- and a few very pleasant hours discussing wargames & gaming, life, history, politics and everything (switching between my slightly limited German and his "better than my German" English) ... was awesome to meet an actual real-life FGM'er in the flesh.
Turns out Markus is an engineer -- which explains his meticulous dissection of my campaign rules (...that, and being German)
Here we are, in front of
Sweet Sue, a Churchill AVRE (which is also the museum's emergency assembly point in case, well of... emergency?) ... while an obliging elderly lady took out pic (too old fashioned for selfies)

He's back in Germany by now, but might be back in South Africa in January... to see more of the local industrial parks instead of game parks.
