The Loose Association of Wargamers

The "army" packs work out at over £2 a figure and the RRP is (on average) £3 a figure as the packs are 30 figures for £64 (RRP £90).

I considered those and the problems for me are that you need to buy a lot of rank and file to get the characters, the "rank and file" aren't really suitable for anything other than skirmish games and there's too many archers in the pledges. They are undoubtedly lovely figures if you're onl...

Unfortunately it looks like one of our four for Sundays Dark Age game has had to bow to the pressure of a previous commitment

* Quandry- a Korean-made hybrid car, quite comfortable to ride in though not as good as the Chinese-made X-Peng Perplexity** ** They should really get me to devise car names. I'm not sure i'd forever want to be in a Quandry when driving! However it couldn't be worse than Fords penchant for naming c...

Early flintlocks were quicker to fire than matchlocks, but nowhere near as much as later flintlocks mainly due to their bulk. The main differences seem to be in safety and training needed. Flintlocks needed less training to use, safely and effectively, and achieved a higher rate of fire due to less ...

This is my personal and probably incorrect view of the matter! :D Small units of shot interspersed with cavalry, were probably protected by the cavalry as much as larger units were protected by the pike. Small units of shot, including firelocks should not have a compulsory evade move when charged by...
