VBCW - can anyone explain it?

[carlos marighela]

Yes, that had a lot to do with it. Over three and a half years down the line though, I'm not sure 'fad' is relevant any more. Like it or loathe it, VBCW will be around for a while I think.

 

Actually that wasn't intended as put down, I must say I'm fairly neutral on the topic. It doesn't really grab me as a subject per se but it has lead to some wonderful minis coming out.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Nick, I noticed your site in WI a while back, will definitely check it out now.
Hammers, that's what I'm talking about - utter madness, great names, I'll be joining in.

Glad I decided to dig deeper on VBCW, looks like a world of fun to be had.

'Arlequín : 'there is no right or wrong way to play it'. ..... I like that.

 Oh boy!  Those are exquisite!

 Thanks for the link Plynkes!  Must make a team!

 Ahhhh yes, Ive seen these guys, the guys at the bottom are Hasslefree and Foundry.  Where's the bowler from?

 Then we have Musketeer Gentlemen (now GB)

 Butler and Maid and Volunteers at top are?

The butler and maid are from the Artizan Designs Thrilling Tales range. Don't know about the rest. I'm sure the man himself will be by to tell us sooner or later.

It wasn't taken as one.  

It's not for me either, although it was very enjoyable doing the research for my contributions. The figures that came out for it, are as you say wonderful and I'm determined to find an excuse to buy them at some point.

Great War and Musketeer, I believe.

Plynkes is to become a member to. I've had him on the bench waiting to be painted for about a year, I think.

Literally the last man out then.

VBCW is like a historic wargame,

Just, y'know, without the history.

It is a silly thing. Just thought I'd put the other side of the argument out there.

Carry on.
