The Loose Association of Wargamers

These must be figures you purchased new from the actual manufacturers (at that time), have never been owned by anyone else, and which were bought for wargaming.

I'll start off - 15mm Dixon Marlburians from when they were first released back in the mid-/late-1970s (when I was still a teenager).

Donnington Miniatures Anglo Saxons from 1982ish.

Battle Honours 15mm Napoleonics; among Tony Barton's first releases to North America, mid 1980's.

I've still got some 1970s-vintage Heritage Miniatures 'Napoleonettes' lurking at the back of a cupboard somewhere, but they're very much in the scrap-pile.

In terms of useable figures, I've also still got some 1980s Battle Honours Napoleonics left in my collection, as well as some superb Denizen sci-fi figures.

Probably Hinchliffe 25mm Austrian SYW or Rafm 25mm F&I war or some Platoon 20 US and Russians (cold war) 20mm or even Hotspur 20mm Afghans all dating from the early - mid 1980s.

Anything earlier was sold or given away.....

Oh yeah, Hotspur... I've got a load of their SCW figures from the mid-80s.

Garrison, 1979, Spearmen with shield.

Probably some Woodland Indians that I bought at a Bring & Buy in the early eighties at some forgotten wargames show that I intended to use for Pony Wars

Hinton Hunt French Guard Grenadiers from Marcus Hintons shop in Camden Passage and Alberken French Voltigeurs from BMW Models in Wimbledon in 1972.

My Britains Deetail are right beside me, from about 1981/2 onwards. I've got Lamming and Hinchliffe ancients though bought recently. In terms of wargames figures probably nothing older than about 15 years now after several clear outs.
