Good to know we can rely on the real pros to attempt to put rigging on their ships. I'll be lucky if I have masts and a crows nest ! Bob , you can give us all lessons on how our ships should really be prepared ! I have oredered and received a Pirate ship from Eureka courtesy of Fighting 15's . I kno...

Thanks Dave, these will be very helpful.

You need to order them from the USA. Shipping is very efficient and fast although it can be costly due to the wieght of the product. http://www.litkoaero.com The website has all of the details. After years of cutting up artists board I now use Litko bases exclusively. They are consistent in size, ve...

Plans are gardually coming together . Looks like we will have enough figures with duplicates of course of all the well known regiments (Black Watch, Scot's Greys etc) and no one with a massive collection of Hanoverian raw infantry surprising enough. Dave can you suplly the following from your 1812 c...

Bob , I bought mine from Lonnie Weiss at Brigade Games although they were on sale at Claymore (possibly the Old Glory stand). they are also sold by Spirit Games in the UK. Buck has his own home page http://www.itoc.usma.edu/surdu/ I gamed with him in the USA for a couple of years before he moved to ...

Yes, Blood and Swash by Buck Surdu. Simple ,card based, ideal for skirmish games with half a dozen figures per side. Adaptable for any period. We have usedthese at the Iron Brigade for Prohibition Wars, Ancients, Indian Mutiny, Dad's Army, French Indian wars (Last of the Mohicans), ACW, Western and ...

I'm in the middle of painting a number of Napoleonic batteries for our forthcoming League of Gentlemen Wargamers Waterloo bash. Needless to say on the table itself we will have a good mix of Foundry, Front Rank, Perry, Elite, Calpe, Dixon , Essex, , Old Glory, Redoubt, Minifigs et all. With napoleon...

Dave- thanks for the offer of your 1812 americans. I'm sure we will need them and to press gang all we can into service for the big game. Barry- Dale was to have been working on a master list of requirements during the school holidays. I haven't seen it yet but I will follow up with him. thanks guys...

Backstabbing , lies and treachery will only be permitted from those we would expect it from. The British Navy I trust will be a shining example to all of high moral fibre, gentlemanly conduct and strict adherance to the principles of truth , justice and firm discipline. They will find all Pirates to...

Is anyone planning on painting up any more units / adding to their own collections for Waterloo ? I know I badgered some of you at Claymore but would be grateful for an update of what you think you might have ready for the next big game. I think Colin is working on some Brunswickers , Barry has acce...

Barry , I can't find this in the warchest ?

Where have you hidden it ?

Peter

Bob / Barry / Dave, you were asking about a time period for the game. I must admit I was thinking about the Golden age of Piracy , say around 1730 give or take 30 years so say from 1700-1760. Setting would be the Indian Ocean covering the East coast of Africa, Madagascar, India and a host of small i...

We agreed on Saturday that the March 2007 game would be a combination pirate/naval/darkest africa adventure and Andy and I are planning already. Just to set anyone's mind at rest if you are concerned about having to build and crew a boat. Don't worry you don't have to but you can if you want. There ...

Thanks to Colin and Dave for organising another great BofB weekend. I especially enjoyed the variety of new non-player characters and the new aircraft rules. Good old dog-fights are great fun. Thanks also to all my co-players for making it a great weekend. I fully appreciate that double dealing , ba...
