Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. Thanks, Maksim! I'll head over to the SG site later to see what's changed. *** How long are you going to leave it until the next update? *** I want to get my gaming group to Playtest it but as we only play Epic 2-3 times a month it is difficult to spend time on any playtest if you kow that it is going to change soon. Recently I have been losing with my Orks. Last time against a Khornate/Nurgle L&TD army. Hoping that we can playtest both Nids & AMTL soon. Cheers, James. _________________ My TOEG- Blood Angels and Deathbolts My Painting Blog- Evil Sunz, Goffs My Epic trades list

Hi James, I don't know when the next release will be... probably about two weeks... Jervis seems pretty happy how well this project is coming along.

yes WOTW will be cool, but sadly its a modern version though, not the Well's Victorian SciFi. I was disappointed when I found out that Tom Cruise's WOTW wasn't going to be Victorian Era. I just hope Hollywood doesn't screw up everything by relying too much on special effects and skimping on the plot. By the way, some scenes with Tom Cruise were filmed in an old factory not too far from where I work here in Connecticut. _________________ "I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate." N.

I find this is true about more then just Battles.

Hi Dafrca, Dafrca: Do most of you have mixed stuff? Yes. My stuff is very mixed but almost entirely one scale: 6mm. In 6mm, I have: - Ancients - Fantasy - Napoleonics - W.W.I Armies - W.W.I Air Forces - W.W.II Armies - W.W.II Air Forces - Modern Armies - Modern Air Forces - Modern Littoral Navies - Godzilla Giant Monsters - Car Wars - Science Fiction of many makes and models... - Terrain sets for almost every army I own... (Many terrain sets to double or even triple duty... ) In 10mm, I have: - Star Wars: Battle of Hoth set... In 15-20mm, I have: - Some odd Micro Machines figures that came with all the Star Wars MM vehicles I have collected... (I can't give them up since it's too cool to have a Yoda who is 8mm tall!) In 25mm, I have: - Napoleonic Russian army (Want to sell it!)... - A few odd sci-fi Necromunda-type skirmisher figures that were a gift of a close friend... (They were fun to work on... ) Starships: - BFG - Some odd Micro Machines starships from several series... - Star Frontiers - Some unidentified odd stuff... Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

It had lots of M2 Bradly Fighting Vehicles and M1A1s. Now the biggest disappointment was the constant strain on the barrels. Every one on my 25mm bushmasters looked like a limp noodle in time. - Corrections in time broke some of those cannons or I can never get them to go back straight. *** So how to you deal with this? *** *** Is careful storage the key or is it just part of the trade off with 6mm? *** Please let me know your experience with this. Thanks!

Hi CC, CC: *** Got a picture of the whole collection? *** ? No, I don't. I guess I need to get my digital camera in service very soon... CC: - I once owned a modern US Mechanized company from GHQ. It had lots of M2 Bradly Fighting Vehicles and M1A1s. Now the biggest disappointment was the constant strain on the barrels. Every one on my 25mm bushmasters looked like a limp noodle in time. - Corrections in time broke some of those cannons or I can never get them to go back straight. *** So how to you deal with this? ***

- Well... your best bet is careful storage as you have surmised. If they are borken, your second best bet is to replace them with some barrels from other sources.

- I generally just live with my broken ones, but I take care of mine well enough that this is rare problem for me.

CC:
*** Is careful storage the key or is it just part of the trade off with 6mm? ***

Careful storage is the best available solution.

If you are using microarmor converted to sci-fi use then don't worry about barrel replacements, the BFG weapons sprues work great!

If you want to keep the modern (actual) look of the barrels then replacements are more difficult to come by.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
