I'm currently scratching my head over the assembly of some 1/48th scale planes that might just do the trick, and boot the Jerries off the lake once and for all.<BR/><BR/>If that fails then we <I>will</I> just have to "get a bigger boat."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21659703.post-1155702944720695682006-08-16T05:35:00.000+01:002006-08-16T05:35:00.000+01:00My Dear Polynikes,Wonderful!Delightful!Outrageous!...My Dear Polynikes,<BR/><BR/>Wonderful!<BR/>Delightful!<BR/>Outrageous!<BR/><BR/>A terribly disappointing game in some respects--unless you're an unreconstructed Hun Imperialist. For the Brits and Belgians the whole affair was no more than "Pink The Bismark."<BR/><BR/>Alas, poor Charlie and Rosie!<BR/><BR/>The table was excellent, the details effective, and the sloshed Schnapps smelled divine. <BR/><BR/>Less so the fresh, warm blood and guts sloshing along the decks.<BR/><BR/>Now, aren't you glad you broke down and bought that model from Richard Houston? I'd say you've made damn fine use of her and I will pass this link along to him when he returns from vacation.<BR/><BR/>Thank you also for mentioning "Boilers And Breechloaders" in the piece as well. Of course the Print Edtion of the game is just now becoming available and will go up for sale at TVAG next week. Many important changes from the version you have, you know....<BR/><BR/>In any event, PLEASE let there be a sequel to this dismal affair (unless you happen to own Hun War Bonds or an interest in East German real estate) and give the Other Empire another chance. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could use another, more heavily armed Brit Gunboat from Richard. Deuce if I know how you'd get it overland, but the cost be damned!<BR/><BR/>Oh, loved the little touches like the cigarette cards. <BR/><BR/>"God lives in the details...."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
