I usually only get junk mail and bills, but today, I was pleasantly surprised to find two packages stuffed into my mail box. One package was the MT Miniatures "At the Height of Battle" starter set I ordered last month (I was actually on the pre-order list). As you may see, it comes with some very detailed ships, as well as a bunch of laminated gaming aids/cards - and a pair of dice too.
The other package is a Perry order which I only place a week and a half ago. I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon, seeing how the last order took almost a month to arrive (again, no fault by the Perrys - just slow postal time). The order includes some FFL for the Western Desert Campaign (sutiable opponents for the Ramcke fallshirmjager), and some Russian Hussars to add to the earlier painted plastic guys with lances.
Just a quick post to keep the blog "alive" and to motivate me to work on these two new projects. Best regards to you all!
From the first picture it looks like you got Junks in the mail rather than junk mail.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in hearing how the At the Height of Battle rules play.
Ancient Chinese Secret aka (Turtle Ship) :) Definitely will post my take on the rules. Thanks, Dean
DeleteI wish I got mail like that!!!
ReplyDeleteLol! This is the norm to be sure. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteWoooa! I really love the minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Michal. Looking forward to painting the figures and ships,as well as reading through the rules. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteIts always exciting to receive hobby related mail Dean! Sounds like the international postal system is starting to grind back into action after a year of extremely long transit times - lets hope so, as I recently ordered a massive cavalry force from Ebor in the UK!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. They say good things come to those who wait. I just didn't have to wait long at all. :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteNice to get goodies in the post especially before a long holiday weekend with no Enfilade!.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Jonathan. I actually forgot about Enfilade normally being this weekend. You might've already known about it being mored to September. Hope to host an Imjin War naval game with these rules then. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGetting new hobby stuff is always a delight. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, surely is! Thank you kindly. Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat stuff there... Enjoy painting them !
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Thank you very much, Mario! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteAt the Height of Battle. Dude you have to tell me everything you know about this set. I’ve read a great book on the subject, but don’t want to get sucked into something that will just sit on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin. Only about 15 pages of basic rules. Quite straightforward and seems very playable. Will post an AAR after a playtest. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteI look forward to that sir! Without being to demanding please include if it gives you the feeling of historical play, fun factor etc. I have a set for Renaissance period called Galleys Guns and Glory by Thomas Foss of skull and Crown. That gives you the feel without over complication and fun factor is there.
DeleteWill do, Kevin. This will be my first time with the author's rules, but he has quite a following here in the local area with his other naval rule sets. Dean
DeleteNice haul there Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Mike. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely mail shot,nicely mixed!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you very much, Iain! Yes, a nice variety - albeit a small quantity. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteNice mail, Dean, and also interested to see your take on the rules, which were previously unknown to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! Yes, me too - my buddy here, who is a big fan of the author (David Manley) gave me a heads up a few months ago about the rules coming out. I was on the pre-order list and am happy I was. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWhen you finish the ships, you have to write more about the rules and game mechanic. Maybe it will be my next project?
ReplyDeleteSome more nice stuff to get stuck into 👍
ReplyDeleteThis motivates me to buy something:) It is impossible to stay away.
