I will probably get clobbered. Why do you think I bought some 88s? So I can sit back and shell Bill P. and his little Stuarts from long range. :)Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-14761682416682675142009-07-10T02:05:46.507-05:002009-07-10T02:05:46.507-05:00So, if this strange disturbance in the Force strik...So, if this strange disturbance in the Force strikes you again, do we start calling you Der Alte Erwin?

The system lets a gamer take up a new period quickly and easily, with the ability to buy correctly-organized units literally off the shelf. The figures and models aren't bad although I've seen better.

I don't even like painting them.

The evil demons who market FOW already have it packaged and ready for you to order....<br />Be strong. Go back to your wonderful uniforms and horses. Don't all sway to the wonder of a Tiger platoon and the havoc it can wreck on the game board.<br />ChrisChrisbumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130234415017047875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-39493292041441438062009-07-07T18:04:11.639-05:002009-07-07T18:04:11.639-05:00The greenish tinge is probably due to the flouresc...The greenish tinge is probably due to the flourescent lighting overhead.
