Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Woops: Flames Of War Cock Up
The new plastic PzIVG model.
My friend Fred Kiesche pointed out there is something wrong with this model.
I didn't see it thus ruining my credentials as a wargaming anorak.
Monty, I once heard a wargamer defined as someone who can identify each mark of panzer from the number of bolts on the rear sprocket but has only the vaguest knowledge of who was Adolph Hitler.
Ausf G ?
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant H.
DeleteOnly 4 side plates instead of the standard 5 ;)
ReplyDeleteYou win the bejewelled battle anorak, or at least you would if I had one to give, :)
DeleteIn pure anorak mode, I've got pictures of Pz IVs with between 3 and 6 plates, if you include the small front sprocket cover as a plate!
DeleteI have only a broad, but obsessive working knowledge of military history but don't know my G's from my H's etc, etc...oh well...my sympathies John ;)

DeleteInteresting, John...lol
Delete"Adolph"
ReplyDeleteSurely 'Adolf' John?
Ah yes, God my writing is awful lately.
DeleteProud to say I am no rivet counter!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a rivet counter
ReplyDeleteI'm a rivet counters' son
And I'm only counting rivets
'Till the rivet counter comes.
I'll get my coat and go now.
