The Loose Association of Wargamers

Still waiting for one of the Warlord Black Friday deals to include something I actually want......

I've just noticed that Colonel Bill's have a sale on Eureka SYW packs (left over from when Fighting 15s was the Eureka agent and Colonel Bill's was their show rep). Now that I've bagged the remaining Prussian grenadiers and French generals there's not much left apart from artillery and some Russian grenadiers, but they're quite a bit cheaper than normal (works out about 50p per figure).

I'm amazed that there's not more ex Fighting15s stock left at Colonel Bills (I think they took all of the Eureka/AB from Ian when he stopped distributing them) I was hoping there might be some AB early French or similar knocking about

You are mistaking Bill for RMD, Bill got the AB's that were not hoovered up for wales.

I hoovered up most of the Bush Wars stuff I think...and for some reason a couple of packs of AB British Royal Naval landing party! I was thinking of getting some bicorned Frenchies for some Sharp Practice fun in 18mm.

You've probably got quite a few international wargames caps by now I imagine

I thought now they didn't have NZ coaches they had stopped poaching?

Unlike Ireland who for this weekends game are in danger of naming a couple of Irish born men in their team, and England nearly have some English born as well.

So your definition of "nearly" is a mere 22 of the 25-man squad being English-born - actually the most home-grown of all the current Six Nation squads? (The three "overseas" players, all of whose parents moved to the UK when the players themselves were children, are the Vunipola brothers, who both went to school in Wales, and Sam Underhill - from that bastion of rugby union, Dayton, Ohio - who went to school in Gloucester.)
