The wind picked up and several hours later when I went out to fetch the Bombers I found that the cardboard had flipped over into a giant pile of Oak Leaves. I attempted to find the figs in the dark but then heard some scurrying across the yard. Looking up I saw an ugly villainous creature staring at me from about 6 yards away: The Opossum.
Luckily, being a southerner I knew just how to deal with him/her: I hissed. The 'Possum ran off into the dark.
Unfortunately I only found 3 of the 5 figures last night; none today thus far. It will be dark when I return home so there's no way I'll be facing off "Pogo" again.

Sad and funny all at the same time! Good luck in locating the wayward ANZACs and, more importantly, keep a sharp eye for your critter as you are searching.
Well.. I've looked for two days and so far no luck....They were nice figs too...
I may have to slightly rethink how to use the remaining figs...
In essence there were to be two figures to a base 1 throwing and one rearming himself with another bomb... now only the throwing figures are left (plus the NCO)...
I think the Opossum may be a regular... it probably visits it's friend the groundhog who lives under the shed...

My theory is that the possum (opossum?) nicked the minis - he's gaming with the groundhog.
Sorry about the minis!
Well I hope the possum did better than the chipmunk that used to live under the shed... one day after the groundhog moved in I found the chipmunks dessicated carcass laid out on his front door step!
