I am so glad that it is not just me who notices the contradictions.

Jeez… You miss a few hundred posts, you miss a lot! I have always loved things that are small and detailed. I have always loved dioramas. I've always loved military matters. Put all that together, and you get why I love my toy soldiers!

Arteis & Colinjallen Just for you, since you both seem somewhat confused. I don't care if people call them toy soldiers. That's their choice. I don't agree with it but I accept it. My reasoning behind this is because I do not see the figures we all wargame with as toy soldiers. Toy soldiers are generally plastic toys played with by children, or specialist items collected by specialist collectors. I see wargame figures as military miniatures because they are generally miniature replicas of something specifically military. And they are painted, based and made to play by set rules geared to a particular period of military history. Happy wargaming to you.

Gazzola, you seem to think it's white-boy day. It ain't white-boy day. YouTube link

SJDonovan Nah, it is just a discussion forum with people agreeing and disagreeing. Obviously, some people just can't take others disagreeing with them and take it as some form of attack. A shame really, but that's life. A happy wargaming to you with whatever you play with.

Forums are occasionally useful online communities where you can chat with kindred spirits but, more often than not, they are populated by idiots. Laughed myself stupid when I read that. :oP
