which environmentally conscious wargamers could send in their unused plastic sprues for recycling . the factory could then melt these down and use them in new frames of miniatures . as an incentive for participation in the program the company entered the names of the participants into a raffle to win wargames factory products . this program has since been discontinued and no longer recycles old sprues however wargames factory encourages wargamers to recycle their old sprues locally . references edit article on freeform in machine design september 8 2011 retrieved february 15 2013 . article
