Robert, for clarity, do you want members to post the coordinates of where the Plumbata landed in this thread?

O.K.
Looking at the picture raises one question first: which one threw it ?
Did I get it right: One Plumbata is missing ?!

Hi Folks
The game is like the British 'Spot the Ball Competition'. In which a photograph taken during a football match is shown but the ball has been removed. Using skill and judgement you have to place an 'X' on the photograph where you think the ball is.
In this case you have to guess where you think the Plumbata thrown by the man on the left is. This photograph was taken during the recent Roman Middlewich festival and shows members of Comitatus.

O.K. rules understood.
1. "Spot the balls" would be like I 1-3. :wink:
2. "Spot the plumbata" would be more like D-1. :!:

The answer is ......
in front of the major of Middlewich, and sadly no where near the target.
The culprit is the Treasure of Comitatus, Andy Dove, known to some for once owning the "The Little Soldier" wargames shop in York.
He is now safely(?) training for the cavalry.
