The Loose Association of Wargamers

Does the "Littlejohn Adaptor" shout "You couldn't make it up!" at the enemy?

Excellent work, Purps.

Peninsular command and AdCs, and a squadron of Mamluks, on the go at my place.

And goddam it, if the latest Frostgrave Kickstarter parcel hasn't just arrived...

All that trouble with the turret, and the end result is a paltry hand-cranked effort with a 2lb-er.
They’d have done better to try for a mini hetzer type thing.

Much like the rejected 'prototype/proposal'.

The Belgians put an Italian 90mm in a Bren carrier - there’s one in Brussels military museum.
Whilst that is clearly insane, it does show that they could have put a 6lb-er on a Bren Carrier and they’d have had a viable light armoured antitank vehicle at well under the weight limit.

And I thought you were talking about a Friday night out in Lincolnshire

I’d rather set off a 90mm in a Bren Carrier.

That’s a Saturday night in Lincolshire. And the Bren Carrier is really a Ford Escort? And well, 90mm... really?

I assumed it was short for ‘Brenda’.

And if it’s any consolation, the 90mm was a short barrelled version.

I'm not sure whether the Alecto came under the airborne weight limit, but it was a mini hetzer type thing.

And it appears possible that the spams may have used a few locusts in Alsace. Well, I never.
