The Loose Association of Wargamers

We've staged a two day game at our local Train Show for 15? years. This year, without telling us, they moved the date & 2 of our number will be OS at the time of the Show. Apart from missing their company, they were providing about 25% of the figures for the ECW clash. So - ECW is postponed. Wha...

(I was always taught no "e" in Scotch - as in the drink, not the folk - only for Irish. Is it always with an "e" in the Senior Service?) No, you're correct. The "e" stands for 'Erin'. The Yanks also spell it with an "e" which in their case stands for 'eejit'....

I love a good back story nearly as much as I love good figures, so win:win here, Will.

My Mahdist War collection has not seen outside storage for several years so I decided it was time to re-vamp & then game. I'd previously built 2 Nile steamers for or games but found I could add some improvements - nautical items such as life preservers etc, some added on bits to the boilers - va...

Lowlanders? Rather a fancy lot to be drinking red wine.
I'm assuming a 'what-if' unit? Your choice of colour once again "pops".
