The Loose Association of Wargamers

You can't beat Russian Grenadiers. Well you can, but it's difficult.
Ordered on Wednesday & received on Saturday, from Amazon, the book 1815,The Armies at Waterloo by Ugo Pericoli, 2nd hand soft back, £14.50 ish, in good nick. Haven't seen this one for yonks.

There's a follow up edition by his brother Igo Pericoli

I have the hardback of that somewhere. A lot of subsequent research has dated it somewhat, but still nice to look at.

Purps shared this pic with me this morning. It’s all he has left unpainted. I told him he’s not a proper Wargamer

Lol! I’m on it!

That’s my leadpile and also my box of shame. The figures that need repainting or I just gave up on half way through.
That’s all that’s left folks

That's just disturbing, you know what happens when you paint your last figure?

No?

That's right, no-one knows, because no-one has risked it; or if they have, they haven't come back to tell the tale. Don't risk it.

I spent most of the morning procrastinating, err re-organising the contents of the shed. Unfortunately, this also revealed a lawnmower. Bugger... but I continue t be amazed by the sheer range and variety of stuff that at one stage I obviously thought was indispensable. Everything from 15mm WW1 German artillery crew, through 1/1200 ACW ironclads, to 6mm Romans and a half built wooden kit of an AWI sloop.

And that's without even opening up the boxes to discover renaissance galleys, 1/48 Porco Rosso planes, let alone the terrain making stuff, and the endless plastic sprues.

Not a bad achievement in only four years.

:o :o I hope your will is up to date

Sick, sick, sick little boy.

Let's face it; not a real wargamer (NARW), just some dilettante with a tricorne fetish.

I’m the sick one but Jeremy has at first guess around 500 plastics to assemble.
Each arm and head to stick on is another notch into madness...
