The Loose Association of Wargamers

In the absence of shows (and meetings for piss-ups) in the foreseeable future I did rather foolishly propose a Virtual Vappa for next year to try and give us the atmosphere we've all been missing this year.

The Virtual Vappa thread will be open for pics in any of the categories below from 5th February

Broadly I’m thinking:
Display Games - 5 photos of your prettiest game especially set up for the ‘show’.

Participation Games - either figure-based games over Zoom the way Jeremy ran Virtual Lard or RPG games run over Roll20. These would be separately hosted rather than run ‘on forum’ but a battle report on forum will always be welcome.

Painting Competition - for figures and models with a voting system. Classes open to discussion but for starters:
28mm+Figure - Historic
28mm+ Figure - Fantasy
28mm+ Unit - Historic
28mm+ Unit - Fantasy

42mm Shiny Unit

20mm Figure - Historic or Fantasy
20mm Unit - Historic Or Fantasy
15mm Unit - Historic or Fantasy
12mm or below Unit - Historic or Fantasy

20mm+ Vehicle
18mm or below Vehicle
20mm+ - Building
18mm or below - building
Terrain piece - any scale
Any entry can only be one that was started from 1st November.

Bring and Buy - a straight thread offering your old tat at knockdown prices. In order to preserve the true flavour of the B&B might I suggest putting up a photo of your old tat. And not washing for three weeks beforehand.

Trade stands - a straight thread where members show a photo of what they bought from traders “at” the show. Our 'trade stands' will include every war-games trader on the planet.

Visitors will have to provide their own coffee, fried breakfast and rucksack.

If you let me know by January 6th of your entries for the first three categories I'll put together a show handout. Lets say January 30th shall we?

Any takers?

Will I be the only one not entering the "Lesser scale" competition because of its derogatory title?

Describing TOTS as lesser is discriminatory.

should we say "special"

Other

I'll give it a go.

Not the vehicle painting thing, obviously, not if Simon enters his award winning Stug.

Well I wouldn’t want to be derogatory
Let’s use Simon’s idea - The Special Scales.

The other scales, special can be considered derogatory. You must embrace diversity and identity.

£10 Beer Token from Winterpig for best COTOTS entry, either game, figure, building or vehicle.
