The AofW website / store is scheduled to go live next week. Ernie has been working on the website non-stop since H-Con.<br /><br />Let me know if you remember the name of the convoy rules - they might be worth a look<br />thanks<br />Milesjmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117445952543844790.post-4467152840054750892010-07-20T06:39:10.395-04:002010-07-20T06:39:10.395-04:00Hey Geek I was trying out your A of W link post pr...Hey Geek I was trying out your A of W link post previous, no go. I realised that it may be the same people as the green stuff n' brass. I remembered I had a link for them on the figvfig blog. Old mate makes some wonderful stuff it is very well done. any word on when the official web site will be up and running?<br /><br />I was enquiring about the naval as I have an old friend who is quite knowlagable re boats n floats and things that go buuuuurp in the fog. He had a set of convoy rules published a year or two back. If I recall there was an article in one of the mags with a play test on HMS Belfast. I enjoyed the games we used to have at his, but I handled modern (harpoon) and ACW better. Go figure how similar are they!<br /><br />regards<br />ppPaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117445952543844790.post-29672061549901549832010-07-20T06:16:05.602-04:002010-07-20T06:16:05.602-04:00PP: I like the bolt action line, while some of the...PP: I like the bolt action line, while some of the figs require a good deal of clean up prior to painting, once done they are lovely models. As for GHQ - I have built one of there 1/1200 sailing ships to go along with a handful of Langton's I have. The ship referenced above is my first foray into 1/2400 WWI but I'm very pleased with the quality of the casting.<br /><br />Dean: GHQ has a nice line for WWI and later. The game I played in Historicon had RJW ships in 1/3000 scale - I'll follow up with the GM and see who makes the models.jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117445952543844790.post-56497490172930148712010-07-20T00:17:55.511-04:002010-07-20T00:17:55.511-04:00that looks like a mighty fine squad of para's ...that looks like a mighty fine squad of para's you have there Mr Geek. The detail show up nicely, even with the white undercoat they show the signs of being some very well sculpted figures.<br /><br />GHQ make some wonderful ship models, have you been gaming ww1 naval long? They are quite the best at it, though langtons models are pretty close. Even for non gamer they make lovely displays pieces.<br /><br />regards<br />PPPaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117445952543844790.post-49120169224898891052010-07-18T21:55:50.767-04:002010-07-18T21:55:50.767-04:00Wow - that is a lot of detail - especially on 1/24...Wow - that is a lot of detail - especially on 1/2400 scale. I'll have to take a look at GHQ - hopefully some earlier stuff - I'd like to do some RJW stuff later. DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.com
