the awful truth

[winterbadger]

Neta, sweetheart, I figured that sooner or later you would need to know the truth about wargamers. Even that video only hinted at it.

This tells the whole, dark story, just the way it is...

Have you bought Neta a new army yet? She needs one, you know. Or two.

You know, I still have the armies that I bought for Ex Old Lady Number One (as an elderly retired Marine of my acquaintance refers to his former spouses...) Pair of Essex 15mm armies, Alexandrian Macedonian and Later Achemaenid Persian that I bought in, oh, 1988, 1989? I actually have two painted DBA armies built from those, but they were WRG 7 armies originally, so I ought to easily be able to do several more... (or make them DBM armies..)

Or make them HOTT armies?

But really, she needs her own army: chosen to suit her interests, nice new figures, painted to your current standards. She's worth it, isn't she? (Hint: new armies!)

Oh, no question! I was just demonstrating what a good idea it was. I would NEVER diss a lover by giving her an army I had bought for someone else. :-D

I HAVE actually started on this project. I got her some of these guys at Cold Wars. She just hasn't settled on what uniform she wants them painted in. Of course, then I need to get her another army so they will have opponents!

ROFL! Of course! What else? HOTT army, I take it?

Oh, I'm looking into rules that one can play an actual tabletop football game with. They're a little heavy to work for Subbuteo...
