The Loose Association of Wargamers

I'm a big fan of BF&F, the only down side are the stats cards which follow the units around (or not, seeing as I keep leaving them behind and mixing them up - really irritates me mates). I'm wondering if the stats could be a permanent fixture of a brigadier stand?I'm going to try that idea for size.

Cheers EB!

Yes, the labels in this instance look even bigger than normal, because of the small figure scale. I actually use pale green card, but I can't find a darker shade any more. The lads at Fire & Fury I know tend to print them with black as the background colour and white as the 'ink' colour, which tends to hide them better. However, with lots of new players, I thought it was better to leave them large and more visible for people to read off. In future I'll probably make them a lot smaller and darker.

Re leaving them behind - I tend to sellotape them to one stand in each unit.

I put my 6mm figs on strips of magnet and I leave a 15X20mm space, I have always figured on putting a magnetic tile with stats on it.

When we did our little game last year I did labels like this
The bulk of the label is on the bottom of the base but the edge folds up along the rear of the base...
Not hugely clear for aging eyes but less visible on the table...

Selloptape! Good idea, as is darker card.

I'm painting some 10mm ACW at the moment, which are going on 15mm sized bases.

Yes, that's good. I'm putting the regiment details on the back edge of the base, but it's the brigade stats that are exercising my thoughts at the moment.

I shall say a prayer for the Brigade Stats.

Those are very nice, Belly!

Ta. I stuck them all to the bases for the game nearly 2 years ago. Neither the labels or the figures have seen the light of day since...

Did I paint those Confederates?

Yes, but you can only have them back for twice the price you sold them to andy for. Fair is fair.
