The Loose Association of Wargamers

I guess it depends how the SYW is/was defined I doubt that the people at the time called it the treaty to end the Seven Years War....or did they?

Excellent choice, the white is OK the brown will be great but the green...hmm...you might not like how the green behaves It will be fine on heavily textured areas but may go blotchy on anything erring towards the flat!

Just got some sheets of the new Flight Deck micro-armour transfers.
British AoS makings in 1/285 ?I'll see how they go and report back.

Given that the F&IW started in 1754 and the SYW didn't kick off until 1756, should we not say that the latter was very much part of the former?

Was there not a cold war between the Brits and the evil smelling froggies, one which was allowed to spill over in the 3rd word, but needed will and money to become war in Europe? Basically from 1066 to now?

Until the Entente Cordiale in 1896 or so, yes.

Nah. That was between one branch of the Norman's and another. Leave us Scots out of it.

I have a lot of time for a country where the newsstands stock more philosophy and arts magazines than cars and tits.

Who needs the tit mags when the women in the philosophy ones all look like Joan bakewell in her prime?

Don't you already have a big box (aka room) of ASL stuff?

Some Bengal Light Cavalry, an elephant towing a limber and some badmashes, and a replacement copy of Flashman in the Great Game as I can't find mine...
