Re: How old are the average Wargamers here?

I'm 63 but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the average was in the upper 40's or low 50's.

Looks like Diagnosis: Murder to me, but Dick had a stash in the series.

Re: Question about strike path alignment

I can't speak for the game, but what you posted, 220 ft AGL is exactly what you describe.

22,000 feet is FL 220, not 220 AGL.

Re: 1/144th Scale Miniatures



Check here if you'd like to see a ton of 1/6 scenes shot outdoors.


Wow! Where was all this stuff when I was a kid? I mostly remember 1:48, 1:35, 1:76, 1:72, and 1:285. This is like a World War II buff's dream! Especially liked the Operation Varsity photos. :D


Indeed. I enjoyed GI Joe in ...

Re: 1/144th Scale Miniatures

Those look very nice, though the gun barrel on the closer one appears to need a bit of straightening. ;)

17.30 for 5 Brads isn't too bad since 5 GHQ 1/285th ones are 13.99.

Re: 1/144th Scale Miniatures

I totally understand.

There are actually a lot of AFV's in addition to the mechs, but they have a very definite visual vibe that you might like, or might not.

Re: 1/144th Scale Miniatures

If you like mecha, Heavy Gear mini's are 1/144th.

There are a ton of them, quite varied and good quality.

I don't believe that at all.

The source and the equipment involved is all highly suspect.

Re: temu spammer

In addition to a very small max threads per day for a new user, they also need to not allow any links until they have 10 posts or something like that.

The spammer that threw up the 3 advertisement topics in General just now has links.

Indeed.

There should also be about a 3 threads started per day maximum to avoid this garbage in the future.
