Played another game of CoC this week. My Brits were defending this time and fared slightly better, even though my 2" mortar couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Dealing with the massive firepower and large squads of motorised panzergrenadiers seems to require very careful play, as they can absorb a fair amount of incoming fire and hit back very hard.

Re: black tree I had to ask for a refund after a month had passed without product or update on my order. But they were really nice and refunded my money but sent my product anyway which arrived today and threw in a free mini so I can't complain

Speaking of complaints: We ordered and paid for two sets of CoC tokens from TFL but only received one. Now they're not replying to emails. Anyone have any experience with their customer service?

ExtraNoise posted:Don't worry, I'd rather hear about the M3 over the M3 any day of the week. To be fair though, how instances are there where the M3 and the M5 are fundamentally the same thing, and a lot of lend lease was involved? Anyway, my copy of Tanks arrived from the Troll Trader today. The Sherman 75/76 plastics in it compare very favourably to the Sherman V and Firefly plastics in Open Fire. I also got the Pershing/Super Pershing expansion - the only bother with it is that the turrets are two part, and while there's a Pershing top, and a Super Pershing top, there's only one bottom, which means I need to get magnetically creative. Doing the same with the attachable Spershing front plate will also take work. Taking magnets and lend lease into account, I've got 2 Panthers, 2 Jagdpanthers, 3 StuG IIIs, 8 Sherman (75)s, 2 Sherman (76)s, a Pershing, a Super Pershing, 8 Sherman Vs, 2 Sherman Fireflys, and a Comet. Good start I feel.

Ilor posted:Self-quoting because they finally arrived! Woohoo! Still nothing over here. Got another email, basically telling me AGAIN that it's Wayland's problem and that I should just order on Battlefront's website . Wayland told me they don't know why they aren't getting supplied and just suggested that I just cancel my order. The customer service dude also wasn't happy when I told them what Battlefront told me. Is Battlefront always this poo poo with communicating to their customers or their suppliers?

No word from Battlefront Miniatures customer service other then "check with the store you bought them from or buy directly from our website" - not exactly an answer I was hoping on. I might just cancel my order. Do it in 6mm!

Is Axis and Allies: War At Sea any good as a wargame? And which scale should I go for if just getting into general naval wargaming? 1/1200? 1/2400? And I'm looking now instead of Seekrieg, at Naval Thunder. Phi230 fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Oct 22, 2016 |

Phi230 posted:Is Axis and Allies: War At Sea any good as a wargame? It's the one with prepainted ships and random collectibles style boxes? If so I've played it a few times long ago. It was ok, more of a beer and pretzels game than a heavy duty wargame. If you like ww2 ships and don't want a detailed similation game, it could be worth trying out. Last time I checked the common ships were quite cheap to pick up on ebay.

At this point in time I'm trying to find an introductory game into Naval Wargaming. The only downside to War At Sea being that its 1/1800 scale is incompatible with any other line of minis so I would be restricted to them. Can the Topside Minis things be used as bases? I could probably see myself getting Topside Minis things to test out some rulesets then maybe paint up ships and use them as bases.

I am still waiting on some sp tokens but I know he's been thru some stuff. I don't usually put businesses on blast but don't order from Conquest Miniatures. Their email bounces and they never sent stuff, had to get a PayPal refund.

Flipswitch posted:Battlefront have plenty of supply issues but man, Wayland are shockingly bad, don't order from them. There's way better stores in the UK that ship overseas if need be. I've discovered BF are loving awful about getting things even to entirely legit stores, but yeah, I've had issues with Wayland on even non-BF products, so I'm inclined to think they're the common factor there. My favourite little trick of theirs is saying things are in stock when they most assuredly aren't and only telling you this when the reorder actually comes in.

Crossposting from the terrain thread: Step 1 of my Normandy table for Bolt Action completed: hedgerows!   Posted the method I used here: http://warsloth.blogspot.com/2016/10/balsawood-hedgerows.html Cost me about $25 in materials and made 5 feet of hedgerows so I'm pretty happy with the results. Now to work on buildings and the mat to put it all on, but at least until then I can re-enact the ending of The Shining. Class Warcraft fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Oct 25, 2016 |

I left it overnight to sit, but I grabbed it about 100 yards from the waterline so it didn't smell like anything to begin with.
