The Loose Association of Wargamers

Over the years, we've used several rule sets for fighting the Zulu wars. Generally, these have not been entirely successful for the level of play we prefer - larger games. After successfully adopting Black Powder for our big Sudan show game, we decided to return to Zululand for a big battle. Yesterd...

Not exactly about VB's excellent work but I have a question about ECW flags. With regard to size, I'm guessing there wasn't some regulation laid down that gave exact dimensions, that was carefully followed?

My wargaming tends to ignore the inconvenient truth of non-combatants/untrained civilians at the sharp end. The exception is a large formation of ECW clubmen, that I'm working on now. They're mostly Hinton Hunt figures - crude but with undeniable charm. In 'Victory without Quarter' they enter on the...

As the kids say, "They pop!"
Really nice figures.
