So, you don't ask. If you aren't interested in the WSS - except for sieges - then why do you bother not wargaming it? (Note to self: one last time, if you don't cut out those bloody rhetorical questions then who on earth do you think is going to read this stuff?)
Well, the story starts at Recon in December 2010. I was talking to a wargamer of some substance, let's call him 'M'. He told me that he and another wargamer in good standing, let's call him 'T', were intending to start a new project. Now, for M it would only normally have been a noteworthy conversation if he had told me that he had foresworn all new projects and that from then until the day that he died was only going to play with the toys that he had. What raised this occasion out of the ordinary was his assertion that in accordance with the current straitened economic circumstances the plan was to use 20mm plastic figures. In fact it was to be the War of the Spanish Succession based on the excellent Zvezda Great Northern War range of figures. He, M, was intent on producing a French army, T had decided on the British and they wondered if I - a noted 20mm plastic enthusiast - wanted to join in. As a further inducement in transpired that T could source figures at a discount.
Now then what could I say? (Not to self: look I won't tell you again, stop doing it. Is it big? Is it clever?)
