FANTASY
WARGAMING.
the
figures shown in the pictures are selected from the author's armies.
"FANTASY
WARGAMING" is not quite the same thing as fantasy-roleplaying. In a roleplaying
game each figure is a person or "character" in a quest searching for
adventure and/or treasure, whereas in fantasy-wargaming whole armies confront
each other in very much the same way as is done in e.g. medieval- or napoleonic
wargaming. Whilst reading "the Lord of the Rings", who has
not seen in his or her imagination the dark orc-regiments stream out of Mordor
to engage the Forces of Light on the Pelennor Fields? It can all be done
in miniature...
Since there are many sites with fantasy-figures,
we have included some true "antiques" here, to make a interesting
difference!
