The Loose Association of Wargamers

As they said about the Pirhana Brothers.....cruel, but fair.

From the Kickstarter earlier in the year Footsore have now delivered the Baron’s War ruleset to my in-box and I may be unavailable for the rest of the day.

Well you can get Noggin the Nog figures and they were based on the Lewis Chessmen by Oliver Postgate.

A 38(t) zug from Warlord - but not the "three in a box" set for £50, the "buy 2 get 1 free" version (which, bizarrely, was part of the same 3-for-2 deal). Annoying that there was, once again, absolutely nothing else in the deal that I wanted.....

I saw that. I do fancy a Marder and a Carro Armato but couldn't find a third. They never seem to have the plastic Matilda on sale.

I did buy three German infantry squads, the veteran grenadiers, winter grenadiers and waffen ss winter squad. That should give me a full Volksgrenadier Sturm Platoon, equipped with Stg 44.

They did have a "troop box" of Matilda IIs - the box art had the early war white/red/white stripes on, so I assume good for France '40 and early Western Desert.

It depends how accurate you like your models!

I believe that the plastic kit can be built as France, Western Desert, and an Aussie version. At some point I will do all 3. But can't justify it at the moment.

Of course, now I've bought the Winter Germans I suspect at some stage I am going to buy the Rubicon King Tiger, which I can't justify either. But that's wargamers logic for you.

Two Matildas, both under new ownership, France 1940, North Africa 1941 (possibly 1942). Spot the difference... (hint - not simply the paint scheme)






Spot the difference (2); France 1940, UK 1941.

1. In the second picture they are wearing shorts.
2. In the second picture the rubbish bin’s missing.

What do I win?

A warm inner glow...
