The Loose Association of Wargamers

There are some very talented painters and modellers on this forum. Thanks for sharing, you lot. I take inspiration and occasionally despair at ever reaching anything like the same standards, seeing this sometimes.

They are nice, aren't they?

See what you've done, Willz? You started a fortification race!

Since we're almost all of "that certain age" can anyone recall what was the product that "fortifies the over-forties"?

Vodka?

Port surely. I have a vague memory of something called Fortevite or similar?

Phyllosan...but I have no idea what Phyllosan actually was/is!

Since posting these on FB, the algorithm has been directing batshit-crazy pages to me about star-forts being ancient power-stations, built by the 'Tartarian Empire' (whatever the fuck that is) and then 're-discovered' by the European powers... They were also apparently 'never' used for military purposes...



There really are some deeply, deeply stupid people out there.

God I feel old..........

I see TSS hasn't listed the fortifications yet in 15mm or 28mm; so how did you buy them?

One of my favourite quotes:

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.” ― Umberto Eco: novelist, critic
