Tumbling Dice

[toxicpixie]

I just used an Xmas voucher from Waterstones to order the rules. More for curiosity than anything else. So order to Tumbling Dice in 3, 2, 1... Might treat myself once i finish the current big commission!

Don't know about the rules but can strongly recommend Tumbling Dice

Ships are small but are robust and look the business 
Service is prompt and they were happy to alter the mix of their Trafalgar and Squadron packs for me

It's not just my Pendraken orders that are bitty

I'll see once I've had a flick through the rules, then see if I can squeeze a tenner out the housekeeping

Darling, I thought we weren't eating enough bread, pasta, potatoes, so I've done the groceries for the week....No, how stupid do I think you are?

I've carefully layered a patina of unlikely and cheap buying decisions over my actions previously, I have good cover...

Now that I have painted the last of my First Crusade project it is time to progress this project

Yesterday I prepared and undercoated my 37 remaining Tumbling Dice 1/4,800 'Napoleonic' ships

Only 20 months since I completed the last lot

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That's fairly recent!

20 months? I've stuff that's still waiting to be painted after 20 years!!

Base colours; deck, hull, sails, done on all ships

Dry brushing the sails next

Looking at comment dates, I finished mine eighteen months back; they havent yet seen action :/

So I can safely leave my part of the TD 1/4800 ships in my leadpile for a few years yet then , :-

We missed the 200^th anniversary of Trafalgar so you have 8 years until the 210^th

Um 220th.  210 was 2015.  Think you are mixing it up with Waterloo!  Doesn't matter - French lost both times.

Damn those 1:4800.  Been using Pirated of the Spanish Main ships, but now tempted...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....

FS are fun, but not in depth - no sail settings, no hull or mast firing decisions - Sunjester and I regard them as Adiral set, not a captains set.  "I don't care how you do it - just do it captain!".  Ships go OK - -> half effect if any damage -> sunk/struck.

We didn't in my house! We had a great big Trafalger Day meal with beef wellington.

That's what you meant, right?

The Tumbling Dice ships are very nice - I think you need a base with who they are though, as they're a bit too tiny for easy recognition at gaming distance!
