Completely out of the blue with no reason whatsoever, I have suddenly launched into working on this long delayed project. While sorting through my shelves, to consolidate what has been finished, and removing extraneous stuff I came upon the front end loader. Now this was not some great discovery, but rather an item that kept mocking me from its shelf. Well it is no longer mocking me!
This years first major project will be to finish off these fine airships!
I figure the best way to convert this will be to take it down to it base frame.
Almost like the holy grail, to me, I have been hoping to find one of these in a yard sale, or geek store. On a whim, I decided to search online again, finding some on Ebay. Shipping to Canada would be costly, and the asking price after conversion meant they would run $100 or more.
Then I noticed the Amazon add in the corner, I had low expectations, but decided to check them out, what could be the harm. Well amazingly they had some, and with free shipping it came to $45.00 more or less. Some how I did not realize that these had been re-released last year, more fool me!
I am looking to get inspired to work on this collection of miniatures. Last time I looked, I had every faction well covered, maybe not every miniature, but disturbingly close... My local brick and mortar did a 50% off deal (maybe even 60%) so I wound up getting a pretty good deal on a lot of this stuff. Not fooling myself, I did spend a ton of funds on these figures, but they appealed to me, as did/do the rules.
Very primitive in every respect. Yes, newly carved coastline, but apparently quickly flocked, no foliage etc. The ships look to have received only a base colour, and oh my that green on the Prussian forces!
I was surprised by this rule set. I had anticipated, given it's size, a more detailed complex game. What I found was a straightforward fun game.
