Never in the field of WWII wargaming conflict, was so much owed by so many (you) to so few (us)…

First they came for the Old Glory Command Decision figures, but I wasn't one of them, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Peter Pig figures, but I wasn't one of them, so I said nothing. You get my drift…….

There have been some corkers, remember these?:
"only 1 in 12,000"
"must be lost in the snow?"
"the move to Malaysia will improve QC"
And now:
"We will never!….until we do!"

Scott Kursk13 Jul 2012 8:46 p.m. PST

Wait, what did I miss? I am sensing I'm totally missing something important here.
EDIT
Ok, I found the link for the announcement. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!

I agree, they have an absolute right to make stipulations like that on tournaments they are sponsors of. The guy paying the bills gets to make the rules. Still, that's a pretty decent bit of ---hattery on their part.

Or, how about…"Borgaming….we do it our way, your way is irrelevvant"

In WWII miniatures gaming, you play the game. In FoW the game plays YOU!

My vote goes for the G Dog!

Gravett Islander16 Jul 2012 4:11 a.m. PST

Are we allowed to play other ww2 rules with battlefront miniatures? Or will they come and take my toys away?

Gravett Islander16 Jul 2012 4:15 a.m. PST

oh, sorry, went off topic for a moment.
how about 'Get there furst-est with the most-est(expensive)'
or 'There can be only one' before chopping own heads off. Apologies to Jeb Stuart and the Highlander.

And on the 8th day, Battlefront said "Let there be World War Two wargaming"

kevanG16 Jul 2012 7:23 a.m. PST

and formed man from modelling clay and breathed life into the customer and the ww2 genre…….

"…and lo the devil was cast out into the depths of plastic hell and the beast forged in battle a vast soldier company of plastic to assault the heavens in a forum war of flames."

So battlefront sayth "let you not have freewill"…and there was much wailing across the lands.

Then they said " Sorry,….we only half meant it…"

and there was much rejoining across the lands of milk and honey stuart tanks ….(available in a box set and not produced by cheapo plastic freeloaders…)
