This is the white paper you want. It's a bit buried on the Gov UK site. But it's there if you hunt around.

Woohoo! #BattleTech #Aces has arrived!
Reminder, if you're in the UK and want Aces, please support my mate Luke at Hypnotic Monkey instead of buying it off of bloody Amazon!

Just ran across a Reddit discussion of where I got the word Stravag; and tying it to vulgar Russian.

Got it in my head to attempt drawing a mech. Not in my comfort zone at all but it's fun.

Bluesky I’m asking you rather than your sister X because I know you can be responsible: do you know any artists who can pull off something in this Nancy Drew cover style in a relative hurry and are taking commissions

Hello nice people liking this photo! Did you know I’m currently holding a raffle to raise money for mutual aid, helping those affected by ICE violence? Yeah! You can enter for a chance to be sent a kitbashed miniature by yours truly 🥰

Just some appreciation for the amazingly retrofutursitc side-car motorcycle, the BMW Krauser Domani.
This looks like it's out of a piece of old sci-fi concept art.

If the whole thing with some misogynist saying women don't exist in wargaming pisses you off (and it should), I can recommend @badsquiddogames.bsky.social - I backed their "Women of WW2 Resistance" kickstarter not long back (still sitting on my "to do" pile) and their whole range of minis is great!
I just read that there's no women into historical wargaming, and then noticed I AM FADING AWAY HELP I KNEW I DIDNT EXIST avenge meeeeeeee

A very happy "fuck you" to John Stallard of Warlord Games, who is worried about "wokeism" killing wargames and thinks women don't play them, possibly because women don't want to hang around twats like John.
And how did taking on female wargamers go for the non-"woke" side last time, John?

I'm opening miniature painting commissions again. These are for the month of February. I have space for ~40 miniatures, either BattleTech or other micro scale games like Epic 40,000. Prices in the alt text, DMs open!

It is a well-known fact that women aren't interested in historical wargaming, and we only paint fairies and unicorns and princesses.
As proof, behold these four completely blank images that do not feature historical miniatures I have painted.
Fellow femmes, share your own!

Other races get very annoyed about all this. They feel that the Zoon ought to have adopted more suitable titles, like ‘diplomat’ or ‘public relations officer’. They feel they are poking fun at the whole thing.”
