I recently had a 2 poor experiences with other outfits that cost me $. Latest one is a manufacturer who is out of stock of a lot of items, they say they can’t say when, even roughly, they will restock. How can a manufacturer have no idea of that?

Great thanks, what size grass do you use on your 6mm bases?

Hi Gareth basing my first 6 mm army and thinking to use a static grass applicator with 2mm flock. For 15 & 28 mm models I have just sprinkled 4 or 6mm grass by hand and was happy with it. How do you flock your Viking & Samurai bases?

What rules are you using? I inherited a load of 6mm Cold War minis from a mate who sadly passed away. Not a period I play but first step is to find some rules I like.

I’d like this but fear the postage cost to NZ. Can’t ask a postage or weight question unless I back it apparently?

Genuine question. Why is it possible for someone like this get elected governor of a state?

I have a 12V deep cycle gel battery, solar charger and 10w solar panel. works ok except battery only charges at 12.9 V as the solar panel only produces 600mA at 20V. if I supply 6A to controller it reaches 14.4v. I don’t want a bigger panel, will the battery be damaged if it’s charging at 12.9v ?
