The Loose Association of Wargamers

I am fortunate to be well served by physical shops.

First of there's Acme in Llandudno that has a lot of FoW, plus all the usual 28mm plastics, Bolt Action, fantasy stuff and board games. They also run lots of club nights for local teenage gamers..

Then there is a wonderful model shop in Porthmadog called er... Porthmadog Models.

And Mona Models in (I shit you not) Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch..

Oh, an Austin's Models in Bangor High Street though that's an odd place selling mainly CCGs these days - but does have Vallejo.

Ditto - some Hinchliffe Napoleonic Highlander officers. Bought three (for some strange reason) and managed to lose two of them walking back to Wimbledon railway station. Cracking shop.

my first metal figures were what i thought were Hinchliffe AWI Grenadiers but i think were actually fusiliers from the Modellers Halt in Redcar. Only bought 2 and that was my AWI collection until about 2010 when i went for 6mm - decided i didnt like them - and then finally for 10mm. Still painting.....
