Oi, we cheese eating surrender moneys only did it in Singapore....Jeremy wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 9:34 am 20mm is the red haired step child of wargaming.
It’s either going to be FJ (a long held dream) or Blitzkrieg Jerry’s. I have the Brits already. Cheese eating surrender monkeys have never appealed to me Post 1815 and neither do any of the other continental German doormats, I mean continental WW2 nations.

Re: What are people buying?
That’s 4 maybe 5 new periods right there. Respect!
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Re: What are people buying?
All existing periods, as I already have SP2 Napoleonic/AWI, and SAGA2 forces - just providing them with more scenery and opponents. Except for the 1940 stuff which is definitely new for me (well, first time since the wargames club at school, 40 years ago). Oh, and the Coastal Patrol buys - though I already had rules for it. So one-and-a-half new periods.
In fairness, I really only buy stuff twice a year (the other occasion used to be Salute, now it's Partizan I - a) because it's a better show, b) because I have a car with me), so they tend to be big purchases. Also I do a lot of bartering - research for products - so actual cash rarely changes hands.
But you ex-taxmen didn't hear that from me......orright?

They'd better not - they get their cut.

Bribery and corruption in the wargaming scene.
The headlines just roll off the presses.

Re: What are people buying?
I always pass on the forum's filth and smut and wrong doings to the relevant authorities. It amazes me that you all haven't been arrested. I suspect someone here is burying my reports - someone with connections in high places. An ex Senior Civil Servant perhaps.....
Re: What are people buying?
I think it’s more a case of they don’t want Prisoners in her Maj’s custody to mingle with the likes of us. It would make a mockery of their whole rehabilitation effort.
