Float my Boat. More from the Crisis build

Going the Extra Yard. The Crisis Build Continues (Again…)
So, with the buildings complete apart from fine detailing, we ran out the game on Tuesday night at the club and it was looking okay. Most importantly, it gave me an opportunity to see what I needed to add. Here’s...
I saw a Mouse…there on an MDF stair. Crisis Build Continues
Buildings. Well, I wanted something typically Dutch on a waterfront, something where one could almost smell the damp clogs. I also wanted something that I could get hold of PDQ as time was evaporating. Fortunately I was heading up to...

Getting Ready for the Blitzkrieg, Part One
In 1939 the British and French had a fortunate eight months to prepare themselves for the German Blitzkrieg. Fortunately we no longer have that long to wait as the Blitzkrieg 1940 supplement is at the printers and will be with...
