I bought(using contactless payment!) this month's Wargames Illustrated,and in it I saw this advert,from Warlord Games...................
I was "hooked", over 2500 figures plus extras-you can't go wrong!!-I 'phoned Warlord Games and ordered the set,but was told that the price quoted in WI was wrong,plus they had a price increase on the 11th July!-however the guy I spoke to said that because it was my Birthday,and he hated to hear a grown man cry over the phone,he would give me a discount-oh happy day!!To cut a long story short,the set arrived today,and I am delighted.
The box and its contents-figures,flags,MDF barn,rule book and scenario book,bases and even 6 dice,all neatly packaged.Just like Christmas-only better! I had been on the internet and viewed a couple of videos,so knew what to expect,even looked at a couple of reviews from people who must whinge for a living! I am totally satisfied with the whole thing.To show the size of the figures-they are a "slim" 15mm,and I worked out the cost at 4.165p per figure-amazing!One "sprue" of each,Feds and Rebs,under-coated and ready to be painted tomorrow,plus a detail of the Officer figure.I think my enthusiasm for this project must have inspired Brian and Graham,who both 'phoned me and said they are ordering figures too-I can see us putting on Gettysburg on a one-to-one basis at this rate!! I will,of course, keep you up to date with my progress.
