1. Re last weeks dumb idea. Apologies if the numbers didnt work out, it was quick and poorly (well actually not) checked. 2. Gunboats. Nice idea, but I thought that is what small ships did anyway? 3. Irregular miniatures. I have a little bit of experience with their miniatures, so for what it is worth. Do NOT but their old space ships, they are very poor. I have yet to see the new ones but I am tempted. Their infantry is OK at best. Their tanks are rubbish. This is based on a small but mixed sample some two years ago. I would be very anxious about buying from them ever again. On the tanks the first 1/300 armour I ever bought was from GZG so maybe I have artificially high standards though I find H&R quite acceptable. 4. Infantry basing. I just base them as for Command Decision, then of course my Swabain tanks look strangely like H&R Panthers I use modern and WWII figures and armour quite happily for SF.
