As usual the wargames industry is burying its head in the sand when it comes to new EU regulations… link

The worst of this is that REAL EU directives can be even more stupid – and they are not joking !!!

Yeah, thats not really satire, more like prophecy!

Not all wargaming companies have been ignoring this trend. For example Games Workshop has actually been producing a range of "Hello Kitty 40000" games and models since the 1990's, though these are less famous than some of their less gender-neutral product ranges.

If other game companies have not been taking notice of this business model, they only have themselves to blame.

With the EU's desire to regulate everything out of existence it is not that far off the mark.

Doesn't re-issuing the kits in pink just reinforce those very gender stereotypes?

God I am glad that I don't live in the European Union.Next with the current regime in Washington I am sure it will happen here. Rob

Everything out of the EU is a joke….

(I can post this now without fear of a heavily armoured EuroPol arrest team crashing through my door, I've escaped The Zone…)

Most of the negative stories about the EU are completely made up.

I already placed my order for the new set of "Boy George vs Prince Cage Match 2013" figures. I intend to use only Revlon Cosmetics for paintwork and Binford Tools for assembly.
