The Loose Association of Wargamers

See it as an opportunity to build the perfect wargames room at the insurers expense!

My regular opponent (and the only other gamer in the village) had a fire in his house 4-5 years ago when his dishwasher "sparked into life" unexpectedly in the middle of the night. He had to rent a house a few miles away for over a year whilst the insurers' tradesmen took their sweet bloody time about restoring the interior design/furnishings - most of the damage was caused by an over-zealous fire crew - and getting rid of the smell. It was only a two-up, two-down, but he reckoned they could have renovated Buck House faster. He did get a new bathroom and kitchen out of it though, so a perfect wargames room is not out of the question.....

A quick update. The ground floor is now being cleared out completely, the floorboards upstairs are groaning under the weight of all the crap shifted there. But we are fine. Enjoyed a helping visit from EB over the weekend. He was a real trooper and a great help shifting all the stuff.

See you all soon I hope.

Well done

Just seen this Tim, that's really awful and I'm very sorry you've been affected like this.
I hope the clean up and recovery goes smoothly and quickly, and that you can still make planned get-togethers.
All the best.

Cheers dude. November is out of the window, but I am hoping very much to attend in May.

Well done to all involved - just make sure you counted all the stuff EB "shifted".....
