After the fun & games with the WW2 quiz, anyone fancy their hand at Latin?

(this quiz has proved very popular with minis gamers).

I got 9.

[Even though, back at college, it was more popular to style Caesar's
famous quip as, "Vidi, vici, veni."]

I got all 10. In recent WW2 got 9, but frankly that one was ridicolous.

i.e. right given that I use it all the time
