You've not met wargamers, I presume...

Funnily enough we've had a chap in America who wants to buy two of them, but only if we can make them 7ft long instead...

I want one. I have no use for it. I have no storage space for it. But I want one.

When I win the lottery, and so can afford a house with wargaming room, I'm having it. Sunjester, Orcs and Speedy (and anyone else in the area) are invited to a game with it.

What on earth has that got to do with it??

Thank you, I will look forward to that.

I would like to point out, that it is in sections, so you could take it apart to store it. It would fit on your Table, and the whole game could evolve around the ship.

Its only the cost of 20 pints of beer - What are you waiting for ?

QuoteBeer 10.50 a pint where  you are ?
Quote45 pints of beer.



Can't believe I have had to do the maths on this

20 pints per ship would be £11.25 a pint - seems steep even for down south
45 pints per ship would be £5 a pint - which seems pretty good for down south. 

In Manchester it would be around 32 pints per ship. 

Given the size of the ship, how many pints would actually fit in it?

Yes I thought it was £125.

LH where are you buying Beer at £5 a pint round here?  The Chandos down the road is £6.50.

So that makes it 34 Pints.

So if we accept the cost of a pint is around £5, the cost of this lovely piece of wargames scenery is eqyivalent to 45 Pints.

So if LH went on the wagon for a week or two he would have save the cost of it.

Doc has me on maximum of 14 units, about 6 pints a week; about £30pw.

Then I need figures.
