The Loose Association of Wargamers

Bad year? I dream of having years that productive! Fantastic stuff as always Mark. Hope the eyes stay well. The only upside to my bad year was that most of the suffering and dying was done by other people. It still impacted my hobby time adversely. You can read my whinging here: https://myyearwithch...

Amazing year! Colour me impressed (and envious).
