The Loose Association of Wargamers

So what's going on people's lists.? Actual lists not fantasy wish lists. and wargaming-related not the additions to your sexy lingerie collection.

I'm in a bit of a quandary this year. Don't want more figures for the painting queue. Don't want more books that I don't have time to read. RPGs are nice but I've got loads of stuff to run that i'll never get round to doing

Terrain is a strong contender - needs lots of fill in stuff and some staple items (trees, roads etc) so that I'm not just making do all the time.

Maybe a meaty boardgame that I can leave set up for solo play for a few months. Hex and counter drudgefest ?



Maybe

Its official name is Advanced Squad Leader.

Probably nothing on my list. Just ordered a few things for myself and had a birthday, so feeling sorted for the time being.

is this the first time you've had a birthday near Christmas then ?

Not necessarily.

He’s had quite a lot of birthdays near Christmas.

There’s nothing I really need, beyond Grand Manner to start selling plain resin buildings again.

so we've now had two wargamers saying they dont need any stuff and won't be getting anything. This is that dream again isn't it ? the one where I am forced to go to the TMP xmas party

I think I'd like some buildings to go with my 30mm S/Smiths 18thC. Maybe smaller 20mm farm building types, the like of which I used to have half a dozen of but now can't find.

That's 'cos you gave them to me a few years ago. In return for me doing those Airfix Napoleonic kits if I recall correctly. But like a true wargamer I have them sitting in a box unloved and unpainted. Would you like them back? It might cost you though.

As for Christmas I have asked for the Perry's "Travel Battle", might come in handy for holidays etc, if they ever come back. That and a couple of boxes of the plastic Afghans. As Simon says, I don't feel the need to increase the lead pile just for the sake of it. Getting older sucks.

I've ordered a few books and given them to Debbie to give to me.

The ECW Atlas is the only military type thing. She did agree to buy me some toys, but I can't think of anything I want......want to wait for until Christmas.

The trouble is, I've bought a shit load of stuff during the lockdowns. Not going to the pub for three months meant I had an obscene amount of spare cash.
