Most players have lots of figures now and it’s sometimes slow to play with lots of units per dice. Unless of course you have lots of players per side playing their unit parts.

Just a thought.

Anyone painted up the Marines…let’s see some pictures…. still working on my packet(s).

Hedges …pan scourers yes….but try to get Eager Beaver scourers they are  massive. An inch thick.
