Thanks.

I noticed that some of these boxes no longer appear in the Warlord/Bolt Action catalogue – specifically the early war “mixes” – eg Somua + Renault: Panzer II + Panzer IV; or the British Vickers + Cruiser.  Does anyone know if this removal is permanent?  I have to say, I found these boxes excellent value and will miss them if they are gone f…[Read more]

 Minesweepers had just 2 x 2 cm AA.

Quick question – does that mean two separate guns, each of 2 cm calibre, or one gun with two x 2 cm barrels?

I’m always fascinated by your Cruel Seas posts and very impressed by the extra detailing work you do to even the smallest vessels.

Could I ask you a general question, please?  Starting with S-Boats, and working through R-Boats etc up to destroyers, could you just outline (a) what were the prime functions of each class of German vessel, (b)…[Read more]

What are Warlord’s plans (if any) for future releases of new vessels?  More merchantmen, especially the smaller types, would be good, but having just read the article on the Yugoslav Partisan navy, I was wondering if some Mediterraenean vessels would be useful – Greek fishing caiques and the like?

Sadly, the field of 1:300 ships is not huge…[Read more]
