And the holidays start.
Hello ...it looks like we are going to have some old games to put on the shelf. I just ordered copies of Blitzkrieg ,Wooden Ships and Iron Men, and Flat Top. These are all games I've had in the past and had lost due to water damage. A recent trade with Noble night games help me get to where I felt comfortable ordering these. There are also some micro armor packs for my modern Europe gaming coming in the order.
I am excited to use WS&IM and Flat Top as published the product was great. Blitzkrieg will be the basis of a fictional continent and conflicts set in the 1920's to World War II. I will share what happens in the games, as well as our normal shenanigans.
I am not making headway painting but should have something to show soon. Several plastic regiments are built/building so not much forward progress but great potential.
Maybe I should get my Black Powder fleets ready.
Photos later then!

Jonathan, I will show what Blitzkreig looks like when I get it then. A definite trio of classics and I am in anticipation for them to arrive. I might even have them by Thanksgiving!
WS&IM will help with the Black Seas inspired wave of enthusiasm for all things nautical around here. It will provide some scenario ideas somewhere between single ship versus Trafalgar.
Flat Top will also help with a PT Boat campaign I have back burnered for years now.
WSIM I don't have, and never did, but have the miniatures rules it derived from, "Ship o' the Line". Good set.
Although the slip can be forgiven and easily understood, "Black Seas" is the set you are referring to, I believe. I have a number of sets of Age of Sail naval rules to try out, including these. I need to retire! :-)
Peter, re: Blitzkreig... would you have the old S&T article where they named the minor countries? I remember Nord and South Walkure, Centralia, but the eastern minor countries? The map is just crying out for a psuedo '30's game.
You will get a tour of Blitzkreig, several stops planned.
