Obviously, it's just my preferences, and certainly shows a bias towards specific kind of games, but hopefully got some people thinking!joe5mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381588340232280771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-20457704076031795252021-03-24T13:48:30.482-07:002021-03-24T13:48:30.482-07:00I enjoyed your article and particularly your expla...I enjoyed your article and particularly your explanations of why you thought them noteworthy.Fire at Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816572506887450180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-43779001810491449062021-03-24T08:23:17.318-07:002021-03-24T08:23:17.318-07:00Wow...

Back in the day it was the only way to source decent historical miniatures here is Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada - through the ads in Wargames Illustrated. As a teen in the late 80s without credit card or internet, that would involve spending $5 or $6 (when minimum wage was $3/hour) to mail off a postal money order just to get a catalogue... that might show up two or three months later... and then even MORE (half of which might be shipping) to mail off a second money order for the miniatures you want, which then would also show up three to four months later - if at all! (so when I see people complaining on forums about their order not showing up within a week... all I can think it "you have NO IDEA..."). timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.com
