The ‘crowdfunding Blue Peter’ style idea is a good one (my old friend and longtime gamer of the age of sail, the redoubtable Mr Fox has already mobilised the denizens of SEEMS in a similar way) and so will get a mention forthwith!<br /><br />I will be getting the game but primarily just for the models.<br /><br />All the best and many thanks,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-67496388509916448022019-09-29T21:56:31.185+01:002019-09-29T21:56:31.185+01:00I happened to buy the latest Wargames Illustrated ...I happened to buy the latest Wargames Illustrated mag, which has a free model/models from the Black Seas game.

I like all of them and the great thing about them (and indeed all of Bob's rules) is that they are robust enough to withstand any amount of tinkering.<br /><br />Naval games are usually pretty cheap to set up and make for quite handy side projects.<br /><br />I will probably buy Black Seas but can fully see myself merely using the models rather than the rules etc - simply because I enjoy Ship 'O the Line so much. <br /><br />We shall see.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-89394232955138161392019-09-27T15:35:34.121+01:002019-09-27T15:35:34.121+01:00I hanker after some naval action, especially after...I hanker after some naval action, especially after reading Bob Cordery's rules, which are simple and elegant and scratch that itch. Sadly too many other projects on the go at present. Will be interested to see any progress that you can make as well as reading reviews of the latest Warlord Games offering.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
