It has some 2D card tile terrain that could be useful in solo games even if it isn't eye candy. There are 3 figures which I can probably use but the real clincher is the livestock, 2 cattle and a goat.
Everyone should have two cows and a goat, although my balcony would be a bit cramped if I did. I wonder if Bunnings sell cattlefeed over the net?

Box came from Empress today. Cheered up a miserable day, which is why I got them. Stunning figures! Probably the best poses, uniform & equipment detail and character of any wargames figure ever. Pack 13 is the character pack for Full Metal Jacket with Joker, Cowboy and Animal Mother. "You walk the walk, can ya talk the talk?" Since Vappa is cancelled and I seem to be rich atm I'm going to order the remaining packs and an M113 or two.

Really surprised Shazzabazza is resisting these. They really are brilliant.

Noooooo... don't tell me. It would mean all new terrain, but i suppose I could just do a platoon for each side.. plus a few supports.. and then there's the Aussies... get thee behind me! I have visions of assembling 1/48 choppers...

Small number of the Saleh sculpted Wargames Foundry EIR arrived today from eBay. I really like these figures. And that completes a core force for Infamy.

On the downside, there is a special circle of Hell reserved for those who glue figures to bases with epoxy resin.

I believe that Paul Hicks is sculpting/has just sculpted door gunners for 'Nam-era helicopters.
