So, in semi-conclusion: The two most important names in the history of #miniatures scales are Jack Scruby and Toby Barrett, no #TTRPG players (and few young #wargamers) know that, and anybody who tells you miniatures scales are easy and logical is lying to you.
I said "semi-conclusion" because there are details I still need to nitpick!

(When I started this historical quest, I feared a lot of the history happened in lost media like CompuServe or FidoNet. That doesn't seem to be the case. The #wargamers who wrote Wargames Newsletter in the 60s wrote the Courier in the 80s and wrote USENET in the 90s, and joined TMP in the 2000s! It's an impressive degree of continuity.)

The cultural shift is beginning to make sense here: An influential magazine started using a new system in 1990, #wargamers started using it, and by the end of the decade, everyone convinced themselves the original system didn't exist! Gamers have pliable minds.
Also, a lot of companies are advertising their #miniatures as 28mm by the end of the decade, too. I suspect having two simultaneous shifts in how we measure miniatures broke everyone's brains a little.

@rpbook I've added some 1980s wargame books. Challenger, Challenger II, Challenger 2000 rules, plus army lists, equipment handbooks, and Firefight skirmish rules. All Bruce Rea-Taylor/Tabletop Games.

I'm listing some of my old RPG and wargame books on Ebay. Just a few listed at the moment, including a couple of Twilight:2000 books and the WRG "Programmed Wargames Scenarios" book.
I'm intending to get all my old Bruce Rea-Taylor wargame books (Challenger, Challenger II, Challenger 2000, etc) listed on Sunday.

#Wargamers do you "paint up" things? Have you ever "painted down" things? Do you also "focus in" on things? Spot the trend?

All right, #wargamers, the December #CombatCommander Ladder video is now available! In this post-Normandy scenario at the Falaise Pocket, the Polish Armor is defending Hill 262 against the 2nd Panzers at night. Enjoy!

About a year ago I painted one of the best pieces I have ever done in my life for someone who today I consider more of a friend than a client. It is always nice to look back to remember good times and see the path you have already taken to face the one you have to take.

Gentle reminder about #Brexit for #wargamers
When you're either side of the North Sea/Calais strait, and know someone on the other side, if you expect a bit of space in your luggage, ask them if there's anything they need (apart from stroopwafels ofc).
A number of small games manufacturers are refusing to ship across Brexit borders either way, or shipping is prohibitive.
(I'll be carrying add on models for the 2019 #BloodBowl world cup team and an unavailable board game into the UK)

Let's face it #wargamers, we all know a *BUNCH* of people that ought to be in this seminar!

#hobbystreak day 473:
Booked a hotel and packed my bag for this year's Dutch Open, representing #SquadChaos as ever. I am suspicious I've forgotten stuff because my pack still has room in it.

Just finished painting these 60 mm plastic miniatures with army painter speed paints. I actually know nothing of the origin of these figures. They are labeled 'marching GI's' and seem to be a Chinese copy of some old toy soldiers from the 60's. But maybe I'm wrong. #warmongers #wargamers #warmaidens #warseers #tabletopgames #wargaming #wargamers #killteam #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammerfest #toysoldiers

@Pete hello, I design mostly solitaire mostly board wargames. I also play miniatures, with a special love for 2mm scale. Also some bloodbowl #wargamers

Actually my first modelling work in 2023 has been painting these Kill Team Veteran Guardsmen. I'm truly not an expert miniatures painter but using Army Painter Speedpaint Set was much fun. #warmongers #wargamers #warmaidens #warseers #tabletopgames #wargaming #wargamers #killteam #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammerfest

I can't boost them, but Molotov Cockatiel created a nice resource for not only #wargamers but anyone who needs a hex map.

What I really wanted was the Local timeline with other #wargames and #wargamers, not to mention our cool+helpful host, Pete

@hongkongwargamer @pushingcardboard @lolzac ok, so post invites to any discord servers that #wargamers should know about.

Hello new #wargamers on Mastodon. A few tips to help you get started. Clicking the star on a post tells the author you liked it. It won't promote it to your friends. To do that, you have to boost it (click the circular arrows, 'retweet' on Twitter). The best way to find topics and like-minded folks is the use of hashtags. They work across instances (servers) too and enlarge the network. #wargaming
