Weigle, definitely... it's also a one trick pony as I would imagine it's very difficult to change the layout in any way... nonetheless it is a looker....

Now the Perries are releasing Egyptain campaign British, I'm really hoping they go to town on the Ottomans and French for that.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Giles Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-81059538610606736952015-09-15T08:52:09.841+00:002015-09-15T08:52:09.841+00:00Great report Steve, I bought the other copy of the...Great report Steve, I bought the other copy of the book!

The isles were marked out at 3m wide but you can't seem to stop the traders creeping out, maybe a Tazer would help? :) Most of the traders don't like the 1st floor, they have some strange theory that you either won't find them or will have spent all your money before reaching them. Getting stock up is also an issue though being one day there was plenty of help available.<br /><br />See you next year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401996675412627645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-55991413007178367012015-09-14T14:48:10.661+00:002015-09-14T14:48:10.661+00:00Sounds as though you had a good day out.

The two desert games are a contract aren't they. simple scenery in both and yet the masses of figures in the Napoleonic game lifts the appearance significantly (the moral being that simple terrain with lots of nice figures is as good as excellent terrain with a few excellent models). marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.com
