The Loose Association of Wargamers

Today I have mostly been buying a shit-ton of AB Figures (mostly Cossacks, Russian artillery and Brunswick artillery) while Fighting 15s still have stock... Now to placate OC Domestic...

I am looking at my 20mm ww2s to see if anything urgent is needed.

I'm sure that someone else will pick up the range in the UK, but in the meantime Fighting 15s won't be re-stocking until they end the franchise in September and then who knows how long it will be before the new distributor takes over (and is anyone likely to take the plunge while the Brexit uncertainty is going on)? I'm also betting that a new distributor will increase the pack prices...

If anyone's after the new Brunswickers, Ian tells me that he only had 50 of each artillery crew pack to start with and a small number of the remodelled hussars, so they're unlikely to be in stock for very long. Sadly he won't be getting any more of the new Brunswick range in, so we'll have to order from Eureka or wait for the new franchisee.

Saga II and Saga Age of Magic. Which look great except they use a small font I am struggling to read.

Didn't have too many problems with the new SAGA rule book, but my eyesight is currently complicating my use of my wife's computer. (I'm using hers due to Microsoft sneaking in one night when I was asleep and performing an unwanted "upgrade" that sent my laptop into meltdown.) Her monitor is a 32" ex-TV, so being a short-sighted (or is it long-sighted?) git, I need to wear glasses to see the keyboard and read anything I'm working from, but have to take them off to read what I've just written on the "big screen". Fecking feckety-feck!!!

I am long sighted, so small print brings it right into my blur zone. Also my 2 month old glasses breaking yesterday so I am 1 prescription behind is not helping!

Really wish I could buy it as a pdf as well.

Bi-focals. Really weird for the first week and then you forget that you’ve got them on.

I've got varifocals, still get the odd whoo hoo moment going down steps.

So you're constantly turning the place upside down looking for them?
