The Loose Association of Wargamers

They tell me that campaigns are the height of wargaming. I've never participated in one. I've been thinking - always dangerous - I'll try to run a short, SYW campaign for 2 of my pals & me. I want to participate not umpire but awkward number, 3,so there you go. My proposal is to fight three, lin...

, however I need to wait until the better weather as I do not have a large table indoors.


Willz.

They look good, Donald. Laser-cut MDF or scratched? I designed them & my little pal with the laser cutter did the needed. best bits - you can't clearly see them in the photos - are the boilers. I began with the top of a garden hose fitting & used all sorts of bits from the Spares Box. donald
