So how many of us got to keep their forum identity over at spartan games? I did. |

Ok, bad phone photo but here you are ![]() The hull on the carrier is a KoB Battleship so I'd expect cruised to be half size with frigates quarter or so. |

Prussian cruisers are 8cm from stern to bow, with the Frigates half that length, and are very crisp and nice miniatures. I am now just waiting for my Prussian battlefleet... and my Japanese battlefleet! |

I will mail him again but I find the procedure cumbersome and am a bit pissed off at the moment. I mean, on the other hand, I never needed to go through such steps when I ordered from them. I will keep the same ID there if I ever get an account... just sent another reminder to Neil, so maybe one day I'll join the forum... Really, manual forum account validation ? I thought that stuff disappeared even before we entered the 3rd millennium 10 years ago. |

Even this forum has got manual account validation, it took nearly 3 days to activate my account .... I think this stuff will even prevail til 41st millennium ... ![]() Very nice miniatures, are there people playing yet? I would really like to read a battle report. Does anyone know how much 2 playable armies including rules etc would cost? |

I haven't played yet. If only since the miniatures I ordered have not arrived yet. ![]() I'll have two gaming buddies to play this game with; one with Prussians (Naval Battle Group+carrier) , the other ordered simply all Naval Battle Groups plus all carriers available. I myself will have the Japanese and US. As for batreps; have you seen this one? |

And the british design is very nice too. The prussian Zeppelin is simply a beauty, Spartan Games talks of another airship, I'm eager to see this one. When I'm done with painting at least 5k points of E:A Steel Legion I might have a go on these candies ... ![]() Mephiston wrote: Yep, I half watched all three of his reports. Very good. I like this kind of presentation, pictures and comments, no cam wobbling around. He sounds a little bit bored ... but this might be the "american style" ... ![]() Nice battles they had ... |

Matt and I finally bit and got starter sets last night at our FLGS. I the Prussians and he the Brits. The models are very good. I was surprised how much they fit in a starter set for you, given that a SM Landing Craft is about the same price now... |

Yeah, it seems like a pretty good value. You get a battleship, 3 cruisers, 9 frigates, 10 fighter bases, and 2 bombers, along with stat cards, markers, and templates in a naval battle group box for ~ US$55 A sample of the ships: ![]() Documentation. Given the fleet I chose, I thought the magnet I picked up at the Imperial War Museum in the middle of the first pic seemed appropriate ![]() ![]() Go Navy! (or whatever the Royal Navy folks say) ![]() The counters and templates are so well laminated and pretty I almost feel bad cutting them up to use for the game ![]() And finally, a size comparison with a baneblade, chaos dread and chaos standard bearer: ![]() If the aircraft bases are the same size as the small vehicle base, some of the larger land ships and armored vehicles could be useable for epic. |

My Britanian fleet arrived yesterday too. Simple wonderful models. Better read the rules now I guess! |

Would you say they're all one-piece mold castings? That is, there are no visible mold lines? |
