The Loose Association of Wargamers

I like playing the 1940's version of Warhammer 40k with my Bolt Action minis.

My problem is I can’t use my Artizan Design minis to play Bolt Action, because they aren’t BA approved minis

I pity da fool dat uses these figures!
I ain’t getting in no plane..... on the table! It’s got a 13inch firing range! Fool!

Frankly I think that's somewhat misrepresentating what I said. Nowhere did I say everyone who liked Perry figs or TFL rules was a fawning fanboy. Rather I mentioned that I had many many of the figures in question but was irritated by poor production values and uncritical acceptance. Some of you got rather hot under the collar I think.

Well frankly, calling anyone that is derogatory.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. We are both entitled also to express our opinions. Frankly I think you are reading rather too much into a throw away expression, but that's your privilege also.

Yes, everyone is entitled to express their opinions, but those opinions should also go hand in hand with if you have nothing nice to say about someone, then rather don’t say anything at all.

Anyway, it’s pointless continuing the line of conversation as it’s not contributing anything to the general awesomeness of this forum

The only thing I'd add to this 'exchange' is that, as a relative 'Newb' to wargaming, sometimes the 'popular' rules and game-sets are what we are exposed to more quickly than anything else. I don't have the wisdom of the years, decades and seemingly centuries of experience, connections and 'knowledge' that some do.

All I'd say is that some newer members may get put off from becoming more active or putting themselves forward to participate in the conversation if they are made to feel that their opinions dont matter....thanks to a throwaway comments, which could quite easily be misinterpreted.

Everyone criticises things, I can remember someone not too far up on this thread expressing a dislike of shinies All it means is that everyone has separate likes and dislikes and that's healthy. otherwise we'd all be married to the same wargaming, permissive, understanding billionaire supermodel.
