I find some women on Instagram who spend a lot of time promoting themselves as attractive and sexy say it feels empowering to them! As you know I like to paint ladies who are clearly in charge of their own military destiny and remain sexy with it, but it ain't history , it's like our hobby - entertainment!

This guy clearly was or is looking for an audience but doesnt realise who wargamers are in so many ways.Sadly he will no doubt find some followers who believe that we are evil and depraved.

While the broad sentiment behind the piece can't really be argued against by any rational person I do think that the author is tryiñg to create an issue out of nothing. Opinion pieces are, well, opinions, and this bloke is welcome to his, but we don't have to agree with it and I don't see what it has to do with mainstream or even niche wargaming and why it found its way into the mag. Personally as the owner of slave market for my darkest Africa collection, a harem for my Ottomans and various ladies of dubious morals as vignettes for my Louis XIV armies, not to mention the 2019 Carryings on up The Dale girlie calendar I sent to friends this year I guess I must be a perverted and depraved individual who as a child used to look up the skirts of my sister's Barbie dolls. No I'm not (honest) as it's all about context surely? Our hobby is pretty broad church in terms of interests and backgrounds but whatever they are they should remain off the table, and in my experience usuàlly do. Not a good use of column inches in my opinion (ooo err missus).Colin Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650235978313356607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-48339355423190210452019-09-22T10:06:11.700-07:002019-09-22T10:06:11.700-07:00Of course John, Im certain I can find something yo...Of course John, Im certain I can find something you could use.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-59654468062163801032019-09-19T11:09:29.337-07:002019-09-19T11:09:29.337-07:00Robbie-anything but "fire at will!!"

But what this guy portryed was bollocks, he is clearly looking for a cause and unfortunately he thinks he's found one.

I could wax long and lyrical against this clown but I have no desire to waste my much valued time! I can't quite understand why that article was allowed to find its way into a Wargames mag. Can only assume the editor had nothing else. But it's content has more to do with political correctness than any value to wargaming. I wonder if the editor would permit a reply article in the next issue entitled 'Exclusion' on how to exclude such people writing garbage regarding the hobby!<br /><br />Your SPQR figures are looking great as always Robbie.
