I managed to get to the collection point of the local Post Office sorting office before the morning rush, and was pleased to find that I had been right about the parcels I had to collect.
The largest contained a copy of the latest version of Richard Borg's BATTLE CRY ...
and the others contained two 'new' cannon for my LITTLE WARS project.
Other than open the parcels, have a quick look at them, and then photograph them for this blog entry, I have not had much time to examine my new acquisitions in great detail ... but on first look, they look even better than I had hoped.

ReplyDeleteHopefully the exciting parcels in the post went some way to making up for the stresses of the weekend!
Tim Gow,
ReplyDeleteThey certainly did!
All I need now is the time to 'play' with my new toys!
All the best,
Bob
I recently purchased the 150th anniversary edition myself. I was quite pleased with the artwork on the tiles and board. The muted/washed colors really did the trick.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to try out the new scenarios, but was quite happy to see so many of them.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy the game soon.

Paul Leach,
ReplyDeleteI have finally managed to snatch a quick look at the rules and scenarios, and I was quite impressed by what I saw. I particularly like the fact that Artillery has a bit more 'staying power' than it had before.
With luck I should be able to 'unpack the box' properly this weekend, but I think that I will have to wait a week or two before I can fight a battle (or two).
All the best,
Bob
Where do you put all this stuff
ReplyDeleteI ask as I am being hammered on all fronts in the "Spring clean offensive"
Much of my kit is retreating to the loft or loaned 'down at the club' in a Dunkirk evacuation style mass exodus
Geordie an Exiled FoG,
ReplyDeleteA good question ... and one my wife will no doubt ask when she notices the new large box on my wargames table.
In truth, I will find room. I have come to the conclusion that I do need to have a 'force reduction' at some point soon ... but lack of time is stopping me at the moment. I plan to spend at least a day 'pruning' my collection at half term, but if recent experience is anything to go by, these plans may well not come to fruition.
All the best,
Bob
you should look out for soldiers from lesser names like reko and kew for unusual 1850 subjects
ReplyDeleteFixed Bayonet Metal Soldiers,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip.
All the best,
