Well you can get Noggin the Nog figures and they were based on the Lewis Chessmen by Oliver Postgate.levied troop wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 8:23 am A Lewis chess set wargame would be spectacular- albeit at GW prices :o
From the Kickstarter earlier in the year Footsore have now delivered the Baron’s War ruleset to my in-box and I may be unavailable for the rest of the day.

Re: What are people buying?
A 38(t) zug from Warlord - but not the "three in a box" set for £50, the "buy 2 get 1 free" version (which, bizarrely, was part of the same 3-for-2 deal). Annoying that there was, once again, absolutely nothing else in the deal that I wanted.....

Re: What are people buying?
I saw that. I do fancy a Marder and a Carro Armato but couldn't find a third. They never seem to have the plastic Matilda on sale.
I did buy three German infantry squads, the veteran grenadiers, winter grenadiers and waffen ss winter squad. That should give me a full Volksgrenadier Sturm Platoon, equipped with Stg 44.

Re: What are people buying?
They did have a "troop box" of Matilda IIs - the box art had the early war white/red/white stripes on, so I assume good for France '40 and early Western Desert.

Re: What are people buying?
I believe that the plastic kit can be built as France, Western Desert, and an Aussie version. At some point I will do all 3. But can't justify it at the moment.
Of course, now I've bought the Winter Germans I suspect at some stage I am going to buy the Rubicon King Tiger, which I can't justify either. But that's wargamers logic for you.

Two Matildas, both under new ownership, France 1940, North Africa 1941 (possibly 1942). Spot the difference... (hint - not simply the paint scheme)


Spot the difference (2); France 1940, UK 1941.
