We should teat comments like this in the breast possible taste

 

Sorry. I was just enjoying all the puns.

Bra-vo everybody! 

Thank you for your support.

 

A lot of tat, just because of one innocent inquiry....

Nothing to beat your breast about.

Coat? Oh, cheers fsn! Now, pass me me titfer, will ya!

On another subject, I've been thinking about air support for my WWI - I fancy getting my hands on a pair of Bristols.

Zeppelin?
Parachutes?
Nope, I've got nothing...
Pun department is running on empty.

Made a boob there then Will.

Bu-bum-tish!
Felt a right t*t there!

I like to feel a right t*t.   

Did that comment lacktaste? Are we straying away from the title of this thread?

[Apologies to the good looking members (i.e., ladies) of the forum. Sorry. I can't help it.]

Why, your all debating whether Battlefront has made a b••b of things and whether it will go t1t$ up?

I actually really like their rules and figures, just not the business model.  I had 54 players playing it the weekend before last. It's a good rule set if you ignore the cheese (über warriors of doom) and the odd scaling (apparently it's logarithmic). I still dislike having artillery on table, unless it's the Western Desert where guns were involved in combat, but if you want a fun evening company level scrap, that's easy to pick up and play, it's great.
I just hate the gamey competitors, in all senses of gamey!

Agreed, it is a good game, in a WWII context

A very good way to introduce players to historical gaming. Converting them to more 'accurate' rule sets is up to us

Shame about the business model

I usually sleep on my wife's left.

Don't like the rules, do like the figures but I'll continue to pick up the latter from EBay at more reasonable prices.

Well, don't we all. But these people are hardly restricted to just players of Battlefront/Flames Of War.

Or even wargamers. I stopped going to model railway exhibitions years ago because of the stench that some people emanated.

Frankly, I disliked the rules because I played so much WH40k just before discovering them. It was a time in my gaming life where I didn't wanted another 40k.

Why buy in resin if you can get it cheap in plastic!

I think their bigger problem was their reactions to plastic.  First they tried to ignore it, then they tried to cut their quality control while marketing their stuff as premium product better than plastics justifying the price increases, then they tried to ban all now FOW troops from their tournaments.  A lot of us spent a lot of money on their products, but as WWII is not a narrow set of figures most had a mix of items and found it insulting for them to declare that WWII gaming was their hobby, not ours.  They wanted all or nothing, and many like myself have given them nothing since.  I might play the game, but I will do everything I can to avoid giving my hobby dollars to a company that thinks it can demand them rather than earn them.  They had a big reaction to this on their forum, pretended it was just the haters until one of their biggest fans came on and criticized theiry quality control and saying it was causing him to look for lead elsewhere.  Then they modified the rule and dumped the forum of critical comments, when you ban critiques of what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong pretty soon you start believing your own propaganda and ignoring the truth you don't want to hear.  I haven't bought one of their items from them or retail since.  And many shops have eliminated or scaled back their shelf space, all because they didn't want to believe their customers or compete with their competitors.

They need to abandon the ridiculous warrior rules and let armies fight.  It is a war game, not a Klingon saga.

Got rid of all my FOW stuff about 3 years ago. I notice they no longer own WI (no Women's Institute jokes please).
