Nothing irregular about the service from these Yorkshire men.

Emailed Ian on Monday and got a reply hour or so later saying it'll go out Wednesday. Today an email arrives saying it's posted. How many other firms do that ?

As there's a law saying it's legal to kill Scotsmen within York's city limits I feel it's best not to visit in person. Luckily Irregular are quick off the mark with deliveries.

Thanks again Ian, you've made these last 30 odd years wargaming so easy to do.

They are the best. Truly.

Have had nothing but excellent service from them over the years.

'As there's a law saying it's legal to kill Scotsmen within York's city limits'

I believe you had to use a longbow and it ain't true anyway.

Why do you think they should change? A superb company.

Apparently we had to be carrying a bow.

"Now, if only I could get them to advertise on TMP…"
When I worked for them they were advertising in three Wargames Magazines and Toy Soldier Collector and it cost a lot of money so we conducted a survey of our customers to see if any of them had been attracted by the advertising and they weren't. To a man they were established customers going back several years and hadn't even seen the adverts. Advertising ceased immediately and was never resumed. Ian is currently complaining that he is too busy!

@Green Tiger

I'm one of those customers.First order was way back when the 25mm Picts were released,my first 25mm army :-)

Ever since no matter what the scale or period the Irregular catalogues come out.As they cover such a wide range I've rarely went elsewhere.

Currently doing Edward Bruce's invasion of Ireland in 6mm, LR63 Irish Kern is a fantastic sculpt.

I'm not sure that's the best take-away.

Well the goods were posted Wednesday and arrived Friday
around 11am.

Included were some terrain samples. Cows,sheep,hedges and a gate. As cattle raiding was common among the Medieval Irish these are very handy.When I was buying my 2mm Ancients the occasional sample was always suitable for the project.

It's wee touches like this separate the great from the good.

Yeah all that, when I bought Mutiny stuff from Ian samples and an additional unit came with it. Very kind and I'm sure good business sense too.
