I was doing a bad thing this morning, looking through RGMW (what can I say, my
significant other probably has the flu)... I ran across the following action
item.

Was this the game Space Fleet (including 2 Eldar Wraithships, 2
Imperial Gothic-class battleships, two pages of rules, and a lot of
cardboard)?

If you can get it for $15 (and the postage and money order costs aren't too
steep), it is fine; but buying it out and paying $7.50 each (plus postage and
money order) for four plastic ships seems a
bit high.  (Converted via SEK to GBP, $7.50 (+ P&P + payment costs)
almost buys me a fresh-cast metal starship model directly from Games
Workshop! Why, then, pay almost as much for the plastic...?)

Of course, if there were additional ships in the lot, the situation changes...

My thinking was similar, but I've already got a number of the
GZG/Geo-Hex
produced ships to finish putting together and painting, thus I shouldn't be
buying any more for a couple more months. I just thought someone might want
boxed game along with the ships.

According to the seller, the game box has never been open and is still in its
original shrink wrap.

No addtional ships were mentioned.
