They really are very good - treasure them. He wrote a book on Yorktown for Almark as well - bit dated now, but still a sound read as a starter.

The BoB game looks great, though now I have to figure out whether I want to paint the plastic planes ;) I think the answer is yes...

Did we agree that trading among ourselves doesn't count as a purchase on the grounds that the sum total of figures in our collection doesn’t change?

On that basis I haven't bought about 200 Colonials from young Tim.

Not very impressive, not purchased painted or not?

Good score Buff, those two are real gems, I used them a lot when painting my AWI collection. I have given them a place of honour in my Almark collection now. Despite not having the figures any more those are still worth a look every now and again. Mind you most of the Almark military books were top notch, as treasured as my Blandfords.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.
