VBCW Dying?
« on: May 10, 2024, 08:24:51 PM »
Cant help but notice recently especially loads of peeps selling off big chunks of their stuff and I rarely see any posts on it now, is our beloved VBCW on its way out?

The battle still rages in Herefordshire…but we are all butterflies and as with all periods it is easy to amass vast forces across different factions but never get a chance to play them all.

I missed this stuff on sale which is annoying because I may have been interested. I’m still happily developing my story of the VBCW in Borsetshire - currently painting up some things for the Trotskyist/Socialist alliance which is menacing the county’s northern border.

It's one thing to see people selling off their VBCW stuff, but the death knell will have truly struck when nobody is buying it.

Nothing completely dies in the wargaming world. There will always be a few that play it.

Actually, apart from Olly on Facebook, I haven't seen lots of people selling off their VBCW stuff - and Olly says that he's keeping two VBCW factions to play and simply selling off his excess - which is clearly quite an excess (but we've all been there). There was a period some years ago when people were clearly selling off all their VBCW stuff to get out of the period entirely, but that seems over. Maybe its just what we register when browsing the web! (For up to date VBCW action, see: https://hereford1938avbcwtng.blogspot.com/)

As a post-script, at the Exeter show today, I bought some armed female factory workers, armed miners (both of these from Ironclad) to bolster the Trotskyist/Socialist platoon(s) and a rather fetching greenhouse. So I’m still building :)
