Well done, mate! Not wanting to spoil the party, but hopefully it's not down to the same countless spambots that kept plaguing my old blog. They cause quite a lot of unwanted traffic these days.
Hi SG, like you, I have a healthy degree of scepticism about the numbers, but what's a man to do? It's very hard to sort the wargamers out from the bots, and this is as good a round number as I'll see for another 3 years or so. :-)
Well done, Simon! Your figures, terrain, games and posts continue to be an inspiration to all of us who dabble in ancients. I hope you have a nice 500,000 year old wine to tuck into to celebrate the occasion.
Congrats for the 500k...and for these wonderful Etruscans!!

I’m delighted to report that the counter on the front page of the BigRedBatCave ticked past half a million, last night. Can I say a huge thank you to everyone who
pops by and makes it worth my while posting!
It is a great pleasure to run the blog, and I have some ambitious plans
for games and other ventures, during the rest of this year...
I’m minded to celebrate with a promotion, but
WargamingGirl’s is still running, and I don’t want to clash with that; also I’m
frantic in the run up to Raphia at Partizan on Sunday. But I will
do something in due course... please watch this space.

In the meanwhile, in the finest tradition of the
BigRedBatCave, I shall celebrate by posting some minis that someone else has painted,
far better than I ever could. I bought
these lovely Aventine Roman Allied cavalry from Redzed last year (as part of a small Republican Roman army), and gave them suitable shields and based them, yesterday. Luvverly!
