My weakness is women.  Problem is their strength appears to be avoiding me.  And my wife...

As if I'm some serial agitator! I'm just want the Centurion for the Korean War.

However, the T60 release has reminded me that the T35 is very much missing, and of course there are no Byzantines. Oh and some early chariot armies would be nice, and I've not put my foot into 10mm Napoleonics yet, but some rocket troops would be necessary ...


Sure you don't want any aztecs?  :d

I for one always want more tanks; and bases, you always need more bases

ECW Armies.

At various times (and sometimes all at the same time  :-[ ) I have owned matching ECW armies in 2mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 28mm...

at the moment its 6mm and 10mm, however I do have a desire for some 28's for Witchfinder General
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Bases don't count: you "need" them.  Although there is something satisfying about seeing 200 or so bases stacked up.

Come World War 3, when the bomb drops, I'll be safe behind my walls of lead while all these youngsters with their plastics and their resin figures will be down with radiation sickness <fade in "Always look on the bright side of life"> :)

Only if you're a retro gamer: the new ones don't contain lead.  Unless Techno and Leon have been raiding church roofs  :D

I have "flats" in my collection bought in 1971 (and STILL not painted!!) so the lead content of much of my stuff is pretty high. So, I may be at more risk of lead poisoning than radiation poisoning  :o
