1) Donald (I believe) described Star of the Gaurdians by MAG FORCE 7. Sounds
a lot like the card game MAG BLAST I just played - your centre flagship
is surrounded by 4 zones, and you can only attack other players through those
zones. Card game. Fun, but far longer (with wiley players) than the rules
suggest (we had 5 players, should have taken 50 mins, took 3 hours).
2) Tartans - Some crazy plan on how to paint Tartan. I get how you made
the yellow lines (though I fear you'd scrape through to red?) but how did you
get down to the Red with the scalpel without digging down to metal? How thick
were the paint layers? This must have taken a long time to do.
3) Anyone make a some NAC troops in Kilts and Balmorals with standard NAC ARs?
We need some highland units.
4) Beth, if I see be-kilted Daleks sporting some god-awful
wrong-coloured
plaid with a non-symetric warp and weft, I'm sending the Narns but I'm
issuing them Klingon pain-sticks instead of just bats!
5) Allan, I think you'll find that the large tartan kilt/wrap people in
the highlands used to wear was referred to as "the Great Plaid". There are
many references to Plaids throughout Scots history. I've got a great book
about
this stuff which I will send you information on - well worth the minor
expense. As an aside: One of the things most people don't realize about Tartan
is it must have the same warp and weft and you have to be able to run a mirror
down it in several axes. Otherwise it isn't "proper".
6) THIS POINT INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

Well, not a bad idea for dress uniforms, but not exactly practical for combat.
That leads to an interesting idea: is there a demand for 25mm dress uniforms
fo r the various forces? As if Jon doesn't have enough minis to produce...

Well, the modern kilt itself is actually an 18th century artifact. It's not
"au thentic". The "great plaid" is, which was basically a garment that was
worn aro und the legs and over the shoulder. It was a very practical garment.

Scrape the Green away with a pin. The Green is slightly tacky, and comes away
easily.
Scraping the yellow off with a scalpel - this relies on the thickness of
the paint, and the property of the paint to come off as a complete layer. I
used the back of the scalpel to scrape, then the blade to cut the raised edges
off and smooth.
But remember this is on 6mm: it doesn't have to be terribly good to look

Don't tell me..."Rule Six: there is NO rule six!" Now, where did I put the NBS
phone number....?

I am not suprised. In the rule book, it does say that the game is based on
their "lane-by-lane" system. How many other "lane-by-lane" card games
do they have?

It must drive them half crazy making sure everything is right.
