Title: Free MBT plastic sprues for Cruel Seas
Post by: Norm on 30 November 2018, 01:46:43 PM
Ahead of the release of Warlord's Cruel Seas game, Wargames illustrated as a free plastic sprue on the cover of the December issue (just out).

Note there are two types of freebie, so look through the mags to get the one you want, I picked up the sprue that has Vosper MBT's.

These are 1/300 scale and the ships shown here are 3" long, the other one being given away is longer, say 4 to 5".

As well as the freebie, the issue looks quite good, so if you are passing WH Smith (high street newsagent in the UK), it might be worth you popping in, I can't see these being available for long.

I have a photo up on my Commanders webpage if anyone is interested. LINK

I picked up mine today, but unfortunately they only had S Class Aboard in my WHSmiths...

Our WH Smiths had two copies left about 4pm - both with Vospers.  Obviously I bought one!

Looked into my local Smith's (Bristol Broadmead) today, magazines still available - 1 German and 6 British.

I managed to resist . . .

Newsagent in the Gyle Centre in Edinburgh had half a dozen of each.

Picked up a copy with the S38 & S100 to read if I wound up kicking my heels in the solicitor's office. Haven't even removed the plastic wrap yet!

Just saw this so took a nosey about the Warlord website.

Interesting idea, but I'm resisting the temptation to dive into yet another sector.
Will be fascinated to see how it works.

1/300 seems like an overly generous scale, but these guys are happily selling 28mm Jagtigers, so there must be some punters with a lot of space.

In a fit of post funeral "buggrit it's only money" I pre-ordered the rules only option.

If they're any good I plan to expand the 1/600 scale NW Europe Theatre naval stuff I already have. Given I only have British stuff at the moment it seems  like games would be rather more interesting with the addition of some Heroics & Ros 1/600 Coastal Waters German stuff :)

Mike, I've got a ton of WW2 coastal ships that I'm going to move on sooner than later. Not sure what scale they are so I'll hunt them out and see.
