More formalised over here. Every Sunday the stores are taken over by hordes
of young kids wanting to play the game and their parents.
Isn't actually that good for sales as there are usually 3 staff in the local
one all running the games so can't take money over the till, logic?? Plus
whilst the rules are aimed at the younger generation everything else is
aimed at us veterans.
F.Y.I. new 40K Vindicator and Whirlwind models will be round £30 from forge
world.

I hang around a store in Waltham MA. They have something they call 'Young
Bloods'.. the last time I was there.. 40 screaming kids.. the store was
packed.. while this was great for store income.. still I now make a
point of staying away that day..

And yet people like Jervis like to claim that the rules are being aimed at
the more mature market.
