What can you not stop buying???

[Orcs]

Anyway did someone mention buying women or did i misread that.   

Yes it was Last Hussar "My weakness is women.  Problem is their strength appears to be avoiding me.  And my wife..."

While I have NEVER bought any woman I have offered him advice based on my own experiences in obtaining women (other than partner/wife) and he has decided that the Machiavellian  ways needed, and the final cost implications are not for him

This is despite my explianing:-

Its not the cost you look at but the value.
You wouldn't want to drive the same car all your life
Newer models often have better bits to play with
Alternatively if you are not ready to trade your existing model in Its quite nice to have a "spare in the garage" to drive occasionally.

...and that's when the fight started!

I must be the odd one out then - I never go back to add to armies...I always work out the force I want, buy everything in one go - and paint them all in one go too...then they're done, and I'm on to the next one 

That's just twisted.  Disciplined: yes.  Sensible: yes.  But seriously odd.

Kinda wish I could do it but can't resist new pewter loveliness.

[Hertsblue]

Yep, if you work to an order of battle there's always one level up. And buying everything in one go - how soul-destroying is that?

[nikharwood]

Fair enough...I am clearly weird.

Next time, tell me something I don't know 

[Hertsblue]

Nah, each to his own. And good luck with the move anyway.

Where can I find my local branch of Pewter Addicts Anonymous?

Where can I find my local branch of Pewter Addicts Anonymous? 

Ray, lots or wargamers keep the fact they are wargamers, annonymous.  ( I new one person who was married 3 years before breaking the news to his wife). 

So your local wargames club isa full of annonymous petwer addicts. the problem with "Pewter Addicst Annonymous" or PAA as its known is that the members work completely opposite to other addiction groups.

At PAA you will be shown lots of shiney new pewter to drool over, Nicely painted pewter to covet and lots of encouragement to buy more pewter to enhance your collection, or even start one in a new scale or period.  Members of PAA are proud of the amount of Pewter they have, particuarly the mint unpainted stuff and hoard it  as a Dragon would hoard gold and jewels.

They will hold expiditions in to far away unknown lands inhabbited by barbarians to find lengendary places such as Smoggy Con or The Valley of "The Triples" where no addict has ever returned with anything more than small change in his wallet and vast quantiies of Pewter.

They will talk of the  Dark Lords Leon and Dave,  and wisper the name of the mythologial beasts such as the "Pendraken Centurion Tank" Darker Lords will even mention 10mm  Aztecs or the evil empire.  They may even get you to try the drug of Resin or even the new drug plastic.

So join if will, it will bring you great pleasure but wil do nothing to cure your addiction.


PS. I must have taken some of what FSN is on
