Hello and happy new year to all my fellow wargamers. I saw the latest cartoon in which Larry comments on the finest painted army performing the worst. In my...
... No, can't agree. You build up your hopes so much with them that they never live up to expectations. the old scruffy units always come out on top. Graham...
I can not really second that, but that being said we only play with the minis I painted at our club these days and they are all painted to the same standard. ...
Well, just because you learned to paint better does not mean that you also put more love into them! :-P Cheers, Burkhard ... -- Visit our homepage at...
Nuts! Now you offer this piece of advise after I strip all the flaking paint jobs off my minis from 20 years ago. Now I'm worried that I won't win another game...

... can't say that that is the case with any of my armies. some units performed well and others poorly regardless of how well they were painted. back in the...
Unfortunately my time spent playing games does not come to even 25% of the amount of time I spend painting. I'm a very casual gamer, so its no surprise that...
... Armies perform about as they should over time. Those lumps of lead are mere captives of the dice. Now if you want to talk about dice . . . that is quite...

I have actually given thought of starting my own business - "Demand Dice" - where you can get your dice shaved to roll high or low for the same price! Even...
I think the answers vary on some of the questions. I painted the bulk of my pirates, and they didn't behave in an unusual way. Now, I'm adding pirates one by...
I find the biggest problem is it take figure a couple of battles to work out what they should be doing. The first time out I've never yet had an army that...
