FEB 2023 issue of Wargames Illustrated:  

@Grumpy Gnome There was someone on Facebook planning to drop a few boxes' worth on votes for Napoleonic Spanish, so maybe not too surprising.     I stopped ordering directly from ...

I notice the theme name got adjusted and Neanderthals moved from Blood Oaths, so we can put to rest any discussion about why they count as rebels. Good sets! These are historical Neanderthals base...

Hopefully ponies, but WGA may need to cater to popular army lists. So it could end up being goats or something.

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy it's not a democracy or a social structure. It's a business. Politics has nothing to do with it. I won't be buying votes as such, but expect that when I have an order planned f...

Good fellows... I'm honestly quite pissed off. Or... "Je suis honnêtement assez dépité", disappointed, surprised (bad surprise). You all seem to find normal that we have to pay...

@Lord Marcus  Great.  Thank You.

Frankly speaking, it looks like it's already descended.

Guillotine is up.

@JTam You get 4 x $5 gift codes. Yes you can stack codes and effectively buy boxed sets.  

@Lord Marcus  Do you have an answer for this? Thank You.

@Ten Fingered Jack how is it a con-job? You get your money back in a gift cert that you can put towards future purchases, including an eventual pre-order of the kit you voted for?

@Marc Nelson Jr. Army builders are large number of models / lower amount of options and poses. See the prussian reserve kit for an example.

@Hudson Adams It does appear to me that this cyber attack is actually directly affecting WGA after all if you consider the partnership with Only Games for physical prints of WGA STLs.  h...

@Grumpy Gnome the key thing with nazi's and their ilk is to get across how wrong their ideas are and  to make them look bad. Brooks's method works well for comedy and less serious works. i per...

@William Redford this mindset sounds similar to "My vote won't matter, so why do it?" Which is a false statement. Your vote does matter. It gets a kit that much closer. Of course, your reasons for...

@Sean Tighe Atlantic digital is more of an all-encompassing subscription which covers the wargames atlantic ranges, and should be treated as such. What do you think of the subscription in terms of...

Well... nothing really happens until a set gets 1000 votes right? So $5000 gets a set put at the top of the list. Napoleanic spanish has 30 votes. So essentially someone preordered a 5 box deal...&...

@Alessio De Carolis I see your point, it is infact the same point I have previously made. I have enjoyed the portrayal of Imperial characters in Andor just as I enjoyed the competent and scary...

@Grumpy Gnome  This early on and with these few votes, that lead might just represent one really motivated person.  Hard to tell. But certainly interesting.

What con job. I don't care about Sci Fi, Fantasy, etc.... I'm just waiting for the damn Late Roman legionaries in lorica squamata and I'm not going to be blackmailed into paying 5 bucks ahead of ti...

@William Redford  Do you remember what the Halfling cavalry is supposed to be mounted on?  A member was asking over in the Sneak Peaks thread I believe.

@JTam No... my halfling project kind of fell to the wayside... I will probably revisit him when hafling cavalry comes out. 

@William Redford  You ever finish this guy?  Curious how the the Halfling General turned out.

This has been going less than 24 hours but the super early results are none the less interesting: Top Place: Napoleonic Spanish - 30 votes  Cannon Fodder Command and Heavy Support - 9 Mero...

My question is: Say you buy four votes for $20.  Do you get four $5 dollar gift codes or one gift code for $20?  Can you stack codes if they are separate?  In other words if I buy 4...

The Voice of the People! Lots of discussion on this major announcement/change spread over two or three different largely unrelated threads. Vox Populi warrants its own thread. https://wargamesat...

Romanian ADA. Note that many rear echelon troops and even some Infantry at the start of the war wore Adrian helmets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oerlikon_20_mm_cannon  

@Mark Dewis Forgive me if I missed it, but is there an explanation somewhere of what is in these potential boxes?  i.e. are the Halfling Cavalry mounted on ponies or dogs or what? What is an "...

The small ones can easily fit on a 25mm base or something bigger, depending on how you base things, the larger ones as mentioned need something bigger. I have mine on 55mm bases and depending on t...

There are mine on 65mm and 40mm bases:

Beautiful paint job, WWII italian uniform has always had a strange impression on me, it was half modern & half old design, for money constraints Italy had choose to modernize only the upper par...

@Grumpy Gnome Right, having baddies as scary as Deera Meero is bonus point for any good story, on the contrary villains as  weeny as Kilo Ren or moronic as general Hux are a litteral recipe fo...

Now there is a conversion set on NorthStar's site, it allows to convert Frostgrave's Ghost Archipelago crewmen in 18th century pirates (or other plastic figures), so these minis could be integrated...

I know I'm going hard with all my votes for Early War British, I would love some nice plastic BEF. I'm just sad I made a big order a month before this announcement lol

Well on one hand I was not impressed when first reading the notion of WA charging for votes for your favourite sets, but on the other, allowing these vote payments to become vouchers for use on the...

It is also good to keep in mind that if Royal Mail is currently not receiving any new parcels due to this issue, other courier services might experience delays due to the shift of parcels from Roya...

@Mithril2098  A very fair point. I would prefer we lived in a time when we could have believably competent, scary Nazi villains in films without them becoming role models for contemporary Neo-...

So folks will still need to find shipping solutions to work around this for an undisclosed amount of time.  This really is a big deal. Not panic time, but serious consideration time. Conside...

 Not a square base fan myself but rumor has it Games Workshop will reintroduce square bases with the release of The Old World, their reboot of Warhammer Fantasy, in the next couple of years. ...

@Hudson Adams    Good to see the recent news posts, both the yearly report and the decision to move to the Vox Populi process! 👍 This is exactly the kind of transparency I was talking ...

@Geoff Maybury I'm with you Geoff, the subscription is too expensive for the very few subjects that have caught my eye so far. My interests are rather niche, WW2, NW Europe, '44-'45.

@JTam Thank you - and thanks for the reference help!
