That does look good but that's more than $NZ 360
Its strange to find myself baulking at the cost when considering buying terrain as I'd probably just think twice when spending that much on figures and then just get them!
That will make a stunning looking table - well done David

I know that you're a chap from this part of the world, but I thought you hailed from Suffolk originally.
My parents are both from Suffolk, all my family is from Suffolk, I have a Suffolk accent and support Ipswich Town.
But oddly enough I've never actually lived in Suffolk.
Norfolk (briefly), northern Essex (around Colchester) and just the other side of the border in Cambridgeshire (since I'm amongst friends I'll note I went to secondary school in Soham but please Don't Mention The Incident) but not Suffolk.
But yes. The A140. Have got as far as Mendlesham and keep being buzzed by Apache helicopters for some reason.
I have to say the A140 is nowhere near as bad as the A10...

That's very interesting. Thank you.
In my experience, the rural Essex accent is very difficult to find these days. On the few occasions I've heard it, I can't really distinguish it from the Suffolk accent. But I'm very RP myself, or at least I was until I fell in with a Harlow family and married the daughter. I'm really quite 'London' at times (common, as my mother would say).
At least you can sometimes put your foot down on the A10 (a long stretch on it was on my patch)......with the A140 the risk is dying of boredom.

A140 is an airliner. A10 is the Warthog. It's a toss up between that and the AH64.....

Ok, I put a bid in for the eBay auction, as I have been looking for a period set. And a cross between Lion Rampant and Sharp Practice sounds pretty good to me. (I don't mind the 'rampant' series, but they lacked a little bit of depth for my taste.)
I hope it wasn't you that won as they went for more than the cost of the magazine.

Nope, and another one went for a tenner this morning. Crazy.

Now I'm sober and can talk about stuff more interesting than roads...
Just ordered SAGA Hannibal - always have a weakness for Punics.
OK, not that much more interesting... but the figures look nice.
