I realise I'm as much to blame as anyone here for contributing, but I think we should do the same.
Gungnir, is that you? 🤣

And yes, Elizabeth Battenburg, sorry, Mountbatten Windsor, has lost her 99 year old househusband. Sad, but not 4 days cloth tearing sad.
Eight days is customary if I recall correctly.

Are you saying that families who move to the UK can never become British, even after several generations...? It's funny, but it sounds like you'd get on fine with Germans of a certain political clime.

This thread is about buying wargaming stuff so let’s take note of VBs very sensible prescription on another thread and get back to it. There are plenty of places on the interweb to disagree with people on non wargaming topics.

Anyway this week on the recommendation of CB I have taken delivery of a boardgame called Tarletons Quarter which has a rather nice map of the Carolinas which I’m hoping to convert into a campaign map for use with my AWI armies which are......(drumroll) NEARLY FINISHED ....

If it’s not LARPing The Patriot, then Simon, we frankly aren’t interested. 🤣

Coincidentally it came with a set of counters for The Patriot

I'm up for a few church burnings. Pref with the priest nailed to a cross outside the entrance, like a goat at an Argentinian barbecue.

In all seriousness I think the southern campaign has a lot in it that can work as a wargaming campaign - big enough to be more than pre battle manoeuvre, small enough to be gameable with proper battles rather than only skirmishes and the ability to fight more than one big battle. I’m going to be putting some of my - albeit limited - brainpower into this into 2021 .
