My first ever submission so I hop it works.  Thanks Tamsin.

Welcome aboard, Howard! This is what we call a 'small points bomb' as your first entry. I would like to hear Richie Benaud award you 222 points for it. Thank you very much for the detailed points breakdown. Those printed vehicles are lovely- but can they withstand the blitzkrieg?!
