"I received an alarming email from Allan B, a veteran wargamer who lives in Nevada. Allan is also employed by the Nevada State Division of Environmental Protection, and he has become aware of some possible future regulations which may be of interest to wargamers everywhere. There is a current civil lawsuit, which has not yet come to court, which involves a claim by a museum employee that he has had his health seriously damaged by working in an environment containing vintage diecast and other toys, without adequate protective measures being put in place.

going to be fun if they are talking about metals such as zinc and antimony as well. Industrial applications will suffer in any Eco-slam by the greenies. |

As a resident of Nevada, I can assure you this case is without merit. The plaintiff is clearly not a corporation, and thus has no credibility. Unless he is an employee of the state itself, in which case he is doubly screwed… |

C'mon everybody, you know that eventually the EPA and other agencies will start regulating your wargame terrain to make sure you have the proper percentage of protected wetlands set aside, issuing citations for toxic spills in your industrial settings, and woe to you if code enforcement sees your ruined buildings and you don't repair them in a timely manner… ;-) |
