Title: Warlord Games Pegasus Bridge
Post by: Nosher on 30 August 2013, 05:14:10 PM
I'd like to know who has this sort of 'disposable income'  :o

Lovely set, but why do they have to come with figures? Most people will surely have them anyway?

I was just looking at that - reading it all through, and going that sounds really nice, could be tempted even though its 28mm. Then I clicked through and found the price - I'm not sure what I was expecting but not £275!

You only get one Airborne squad which is a bit strange. Anyway, all mm gaming is now in 10mm or smaller :D.

It is a thing of beauty - not at that price though...

Do you reckon they got it from Gamecraft?

The Warlord one seems more detailed after having another look.

Now, if you hadn't squandered all that money on food and clothes and rent you could have afforded one of those.  ;)

If he hadn't squandered the money on rent he might have had to live under it :-)

Apparently (I don't play BA), they might have to tweak some of the Bolt Action rules - Brit Paras have a range of 24" for rifles & 12" for Sten...so they'll not be able to shoot the length of the bridge  ;D

I guess that's an advantage of Chain of Command's "if it's on the table and you can see it, you can shoot at it" approach

And at 31" long you wont have too much table left to play with if on the traditional 6x4 table which BA is designed for...
