Wargames Illustrated 2018 Awards

I think you make an excellent point Peter, but weren't the categories BEST OF and not CHEAPEST.

"Quantity has a quality all of it's own"

[Terry37]

None of mine came in top either. As others have stated, I cannot think of anyone who tops Leon and crew for their quality of service. I also agree with what I think has been stated that the hobby today does seem to be dominated by larger scale skirmish type games, which have little or no appeal to me!

May I quote Paris Hilton here, and not in anyway be associated to her spoiled little world - "It's not fair!"

Sorry Leon, but know we love and appreciate you!

Yes, But if 80% buy the cheapest one, the best one doesn't get as much votes. Simple as that. I'm guessing most people vote for items/companies/games they are acquainted with.

For example, if i have never bought pendraken items, i can't vote for their customer service to be the best, because i have no way of knowing that. Same thing really.

[Leman]

Following this argument indicates that the whole process was a complete waste of time and merely a page filler for WI.

No surprises there then

As Already noted I suspect the results reflect our 'tribal' nature; what I & my mates buy is best...

[steve_holmes_11]

I guess this feeds back to the thread about the fragmented nature of the hobby.

I know I've not bought a wargaming magazine for over a decade.
I browse the covers and just can't get excited about.

• How to paint (Big scale manufacturer's) new Venezuelan crisis figures.
• We review some Orcs
• Pages upon pages of advertorial material

It's very firm heroic scale territory.


Congratulations on the 2nd in customer service.
I read the winner's name with a derisive snort, as I've been less than impressed with their recent work.

Oops seems nr 1 is having a little bump in their road.

Makes no difference, Peter, because we've been told there's no chance of a second referendum ....

Have a ROFL...

Reading between the lines: "We let the spin caster Troll loose with the franking machine".

They won't make that mistake twice.
