Jeez! it's like the last days of Soddom and Gomorah in here.
Unless you're proposing actually joining EB on a little base like two wargaming homunculi? In which case....I have no idea what that's like!

You may have said earlier, but what figures might you be using?

I’m currently fixed on 25mm Staddens.
Blimey! Where are you getting them from? I have some Stadden Napoleonic 25s....gorgeous, but very slim figures. I'd definitely go with 18mm as a max.

Surely the underside of all bases is always candy pink? All else is Sodom and Gomorrah on viagara and LSD!

Nobody has it in stock at the moment.
I regret selling it.
There is this new and unopened copy on Ebay at the moment.
But it ends this evening so you'll have to hurry to get involved!
