Yeah, moving day is always fun. When the movers look at you and say, “What the hell have you got in these boxes? Lead?” “Well, actually, umm, it’s a funny thing you should say that...”

Judging by the size of the apartment I’m likely to be getting in Osaka, board games might be the way to go. I don’t think I’m going to be refighting Leipzig at home anytime soon...

Apologies for the lengthy silence. I’m going to have to back out of this project unfortunately. I’m moving down to Osaka next weekend. Do you know if there’s much of a gaming scene in Osaka?

Sorry for the sluggish response. Work and all that... You know how it is. Like I said, I’m OK with either side. The one box of plastics + mentioned in your initial post sounds good to start with. I’ve posted a snapshot of stuff I’ve already got which we might be able to make use of. The generic 18th...

I might be in for this if you’ve got room for another player... Not fussy about which side.

Sounds interesting... Have you managed to make much progress?

The guys in ‘Broken Bayonets’, the KL group, are saying lots of nice things about a range of plastic fantasy miniatures called Oathsmark. Nice-looking goblins and I think they do dwarves as well. 30 figures a box.

Gripping Beast are going to start shipping Saga II next Monday (12th February) and - get this - the core rule book is only £10. The first supplement, ‘Age of Vikings’ is a bit pricier at £30, but includes 12 battle boards.

It’s a nice-looking range. I’ve had a hankering for them for a while now. It’s a shame that Aoshima don’t make their 1/35 scale samurai sets any more. They would be alright for skirmish games as well. I’ve been in correspondence with Aoshima on the subject this week as I was eyeing them for a school...

Just a thought. If you are thinking about skirmish gaming then Steve Barber Models do a nice samurai range in 40mm.
