I thought for a moment you had posted new stuff :(

Give me a break...I've been living in temporary accommodation since September - with all my kit in storage - and *really* limited space / time for gaming since then  ;)

That's going to get better soon though...and then there will be way more new stuff from me  8)

I forgot about your temp accomadation
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

It's lovely (holiday cottage on Exmoor) but seriously limited on gaming space  :)

'Normal' service will resume soon...  8)

I've been eyeing up the WW1 range O8 are doing.

Just 3 tanks so far but, if expands the way the ACW and Napoleonics have, I expect to be working out how to make 3mm scale barbed wire sometime soon!

I am planning Yom Kippur.

Only problem is that unlike Picoarmor, here I'm Uk
you have to buy complete packs of everything. So for
things like APCs I end up with a surplus.

EDIT  Its KR Games...I think they sell separate models

It's a bit odd when a T-35 costs the same as a motorcycle & sidecar...  :-\

I suspect most of the cost is in the handling, it's not as though there is a lot of material in any of these  :)

Which rules do folks use for 3mm gaming?  I'm thinking of WWII.

Thanks Ian :)

Anyone know a supplier?

Log on to the SMP site, http://www.blitzkrieg-commander.com and look for products, there should be a PDF there. If not Steve Oates at Baggage Train had one or two couple of months ago.

Nik may know of other sources....
