Sometimes we get lucky and have all the above. <br /><br />I chose Blogger simply because I copied Giles’s AWI blog. Can’t see why anyone would pay for a site unless they needed one for business.

I have to admit I have not bought a wargames magazine for years, I have reached that miserable old bugger stage where I know the rules and figures ranges I like and see no reason to buy a magazine when there is so much inspiration on blogger (however dated that may be!).<br />Good choice with the ACW-it is my one constant throughout my wargaming years.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751744958434403184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-65476470980153096902016-10-28T18:15:20.510+01:002016-10-28T18:15:20.510+01:00*whistles innocently*

I had trouble climbing up into it! Also, in the UK, it rains all the time so anything in the back is going to get wet! This has always seemed a fundamental flaw with them.

They're a bit expensive but very nice models, and almost all female. Dark Sphere carry a small selection in their shop, but you can get them online from Wayland Games and a few others. It may just be the resin versions from UK retailers - if you order direct from Raging Heroes, some of the character figures are available in metal.<br />TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-72266020871138768712016-10-28T11:31:21.480+01:002016-10-28T11:31:21.480+01:00Lets see - you've been to an NFL game, leered ...Lets see - you've been to an NFL game, leered at cheerleaders and been disdainful of your fellow attendees. Yup you're becoming an American - welcome to the Family, my friend.<br /><br />Your next step will the buying of a pick-up truck. I would suggest you go with the standard Ford F-150, but if you want to be fashion forward then we should consider a Dodge or Chevy truck. Buying your first pick-up truck can be a bit intimidating but fear not! - I will be in the UK the week of Nov 28th for some board meetings but can free up time to escort you to the American Embassy and introduce you the their Americanization section where they can help speed you along your path of true enlightenment.<br /><br />Chicks dig irascible middle aged guys in pick-up trucks. It says so right in the marketing materials.jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-44481011907108298882016-10-28T10:57:11.343+01:002016-10-28T10:57:11.343+01:00Well!
