I passed to Tim (before Xmas) 3 Langton ships and a pack of 10mm ACW buildings as I know he is working on 10mm ACW project (About the only ACW project he is not working on seems to be a 6mm ACW project) and I know he got the "Fighting Sail" rules for Christmas. He asked me what I wanted in return. As Tim Owns (And runs) Both IT Miniatures and Frontline Wargasming. I asked for a few items from those ranges.
Firstly let me say I am VERY happy with the swap as it is things I was going to do but project I have given up on swapped for things I intend to do and have not (as yet) given up on!
Although the pics are unclear here are 2 WW2 Italian armoured fighting vehicles. As I want to do Chain of command in 20mm western Desert The Autoblinda Armoured Car and the CV33 Tankette should I hope pump up the Italian forces. The Tankette is a 2 man Tiny vehicle on the right and the armoured car is on the left,
Finally for a project "Started" a few years ago that sadly stalled very quickly 2 lots as Askari 20mm WW1 East African Troops. These two packs will I hope give me enough for a starting force or two small skirmishing forces in east Africa.
But Imagine a game of Skirmishers versus Skirmishers with Germans, British, Indian, Portuguese, Belgium and Native Tribal warriors (The Massai) and it becomes far from a typical WW1 game at all.
Best get something proiductive done so I will sign off for now and let you be about your business.
All the best Clint
An excellent post with Tim and you both benefiting from the deal.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I hope Tim feels the same way I do. As I know I have a good deal. I appreciate your comment as this is not really your thing, 20mm WW1 and WW2
DeleteThat's true but posts like this always make me happy. I like seeing good news stories about our hobby.
DeleteThanks Mate. I think we all do. (Well I know I do as well)
DeleteSounds like a great idea with both parties benefitting, lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. A wargames Swap shop could be managed on the internet, BUT NOT BY ME!
DeleteThat's a very welcome exchange, with the both of you benefiting. It's things like this that can give a much needed boost to a stalled project.
ReplyDeleteTHank you Joe I totally agree.
DeleteAlso for WW1 in East Africa, you can have bees on your side :-) .
ReplyDeleteThanks C6. I am not sure how we can use that in a game so easily but you are right.
DeleteAwesome :)
ReplyDeleteA cracking trade by the sound of things, Clint, and your enthusiasm for the deal makes it appear all the sweeter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. From my point of view I am swapping something I will not use for some things I will. So that has gotta be good.
