That should do the trick...unless you really try to warp 'em!

With such a perfect feed line it's difficult to resist............but I will

We can certainly take a look at that, no worries. I've got the laser guys all tied up until Salute but we should be able to get some time after that to knock those up and add them to the website. What kind of ratio would you be looking for? A 2:1 style where (eg) 2 x 20mm tributaries come into a 1 x 40mm river?

It was more of a broad suggestion Leon - I'll be chopping bits off the 'Y' section I've ordered to reduce one limb to 30mm.

I think 2:1 would be fine.

No worries, we'll take a look at those and get them added as an extra option asap.

Hot on the heels of our big ACW expansion we're continuing in the same period with a big release for our Plains War range. We've added the essential 7th Cavalry in various options, as well as casualties and some personalities, including Custer himself!

With the added items like civilians, wagons and a stagecoach from our ACW range, you've got everything you need for games like Pony Wars.
