The Loose Association of Wargamers

...or teams of two or three so there's always someone else to blame for your misfortune?

Good find, that set looks quite good value even at £25 let alone £15!

I had a bit of bother with Lt Gruber's "liddle tank" as well.

Not just ham fisted me then. Good to know.

Who's Ham?

Dunno, but you've clearly got to watch yourself around him!

I can't have bought the same Zvesda as the rest of you, got a Firefly a few months ago and it was awful! Sticking with 1/72. Although I do have the FoW v4 starter set, it was only about £28 in the shop. Lovely models! Might stick with 15s for Western desert.

The hard copy and tokens arrived today. There was real thought put into the tokens, the Memsahib looked at them and said, "Some of those look like buttons". Can't argue with her but I pointed out that these were laser cut acrylic buttons.

Mine came today, slightly disappointed not to get cardboard dashboards. I thought I ordered the whole bundle. Just got a book and some buttons and sprue cut offs :-/ the rules do look good though. Hopefully give them a good thumbing this week.

Book, tokens and tool was the full bundle....what's this about sprues?

Yes buttons for buttoned down - clever. Many of the tokens are the same as issued with the IABSM 3 bundle so I now have enough for many tanks!
