Wargames Illustrated Sudan Special

[Plynkes]

The idea that a niche firm like the Perry twins would employ spambots to sell their books really is striving for tinfoil hat levels of crazy paranoia. 

I don't know if a spambot ever managed to even sell a pair of Ugg boots, let alone books about a 19th Century colonial campaign. I think the Perrys should try flogging non-prescription Viagra instead, they've got a better chance of finding a customer with that.

Ahh our beloved leader, your out of clink then? 

I bought WI at the weekend and I have enjoyed reading it so far. I wont subscribe again due to the themed issues, but pick and choose depending on content.

Now then I have to do is ask myself - "is to late to switch from the Zulu war which I started collection bits for late last year as my first foray into the whole colonial period?"

Ive just posted on my blog my plans for a Zulu War campaign and am determined to stick to them as much as possible...except Ive asked for Snooks book for my bday this month (currently reading his Zulu war books)...and Ive always wanted to paint some Perry Sudan miniatures but must stay focused

[Mors]

Out of clink? 

Sorry, was alluding to your TMP sojourn.

[Plynkes]

Ah, got you. I just went and had a look: Still three days to go. But much as he may think he is, Mr. Armintrout is not Most Supreme High Lord of All the Internet, and thus cannot stop me from saying that Flames of War makes you gay here on the LAF. 

[Captain Blood]

Oh Plynkes... Have you been causing trouble again? 

[Mors]

Oh Plynkes... Have you been causing trouble again? 

Only if you include calling 15mm WW2 gamers gay....
Actually you have appeared to served your time for that offence, but your still inside for calling the poll originator an imbecile.

If I ever need to cheer myself up I go to the Dawghouse on TMP and see what 'crimes' have been commited , downside is I spend a lot of time looking at the nappy board

I do 15mm FOW................

I do 15mm FOW................ 

I thought about, decided to go a manly 20mm instead   

[Skyven]

I do 15mm FOW................ 

I also game FOW. Western Desert naturally.

Though I confess I've been lured into 28 mm recently ... got hold of some LRDG trucks and a Sahariana at the larger scale which I still have to put together.

[Plynkes]

It was merely an absurd joke, my usual style of daft clowning around; though of course some uptight bedwetter was offended by it and snitched on me, it being the place that it is.

I have nothing against 15mm or homosexuality (I have tried at least one of those, but I'm not telling you which), and the only thing I have against FoW is the fact that they are always bloody clogging up Wargames Illustrated with it (to get this juggernaut somewhere near back on topic).

[Skyven]

... against FoW is the fact that they are always bloody clogging up Wargames Illustrated with it ...

Reminds me of the way White Dwarf became an in-house magazine back when I was much younger. As an FOW player I wouldn't mind so much if the stuff was on more than one topic at a time.

I too see the day when all other content in WI is stopped in favour of FoW! 

Still, I'd save a few quid every month then and re-direct it into some extra lead!

I pick & choose based on theme of an issue - it is the one thing I like about the changes since the FoW crowd took over. 

Mors - I shall have a look at your blog later this evening!

[Atheling]

I'm certainly not what you might call a Flames of War player/fan. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with FoW if you're into that sort of game- I'm just not one of them  .

However, I can appreciate the higher standard (in particular the level of eye candy) that the new WI format has allowed. hope that makes sense- I'm full of flu (again!!!  ).

Well, I'm an avid FOW player and even I get fed up with the FOW content in WI sometimes, it wasn't so bad in this issue though.

I've been interested in Sudan for several years now, mainly because of the Perry range (it's also their fault that I'm interested in WotR, HYW, Napoleonics, ACW and so on...). So I thought it was a great issue and will certainly order some miniatures and start playing any day now!
