The Loose Association of Wargamers

And out of sheer nostalgia, I purchased the two Funcken Napoleonic volumes. They were what inspired me to start 15mm with Wurttemburgers about 40 years ago...

They are lovely books congrats. the 2nd hand shop in york had them in last week but the price was higher than my impulse wallet was wanting to go…

Is your impulse wallet the diametric opposite of Andy's recluse wallet?

I'm currently on quite a lucrative contract, so I am laying in stock for the lean years, according to the biblical precedent. So the lead and book pile has grown substantially in the last couple of months. But this working from home makes it hard to sneak parcels in...

I still have my French versions I bought in the 70s. I also picked up a German omnibus version covering the 2 lace wars volumes, both Napoleonic volumes as well as the Franco Prussian War.

I deliberately avoided the Lace Wars volumes, painting lace is a pain so my motto is don't play any conflicts named after what you hate doing. But oh so tempting, and I do seem to have a League of Augsburg army accidentally acquired.

Incidentally how much were they? Was it the shop on Walmgate?

WSS has lovely simple uniforms and no lace.

I have just swapped a spare copy of lace wars 2 for pro painting.
