In the UK, Northstar have just announced they are taking shipping orders for Muskets and Tomahawks from next Monday (23/4). I think they will be availableto buy in at Salute on Saturday (?).

EVzone, yes me too, I am looking forward to them, being released in the UK at Salute this weekend!
might you be there? Adam and I will be, and also David from TM Terrain, with one of his awesome boards! Can't wait.

I was really looking forward to Salute, but I won't be there as its my wedding anniversary on the Saturday........ Bad planning from me and the organisers!

I have one of David's boards which I picked up at one of the London shows a while ago; a snow covered landscape ideal for my Snowshoes collection. He is a great talent and a nice fella.

Hoping to catch up with you JJD UK guys soon, have a good show!

Who has 40mm FIW besides Sash & Saber?
Mark

S&S is the only one I know of so far.

Actually you could get away with using some of the 40mm Trident AWi civilians and militia for the FIW period.

Chris, I like what you did with the Woodland Indians, makes them seem like totally new & different figures. Also looks like you finish your figures with a gloss coat. - Ken

Thanks, Ken. Figures get a gloss coat, then a satin coat. Varnishing is essential if you game with them. If you want to know what varnish I used, please see http://cluckamok.blogspot.com/2012/04/frontier-on-fire-game-of-french-and.html under "The Miniatures."

Bests,

Hi Niels,

Thanks for the warm Danish welcome! Hopefully there won't be many more repaints - just more game photos

Hi Chris,

I really like the repaints for the La Salle units. Those red coats really stand out nice.

We need to convince John that he needs to sell unpainted figures to the wargamers so we can paint up the units we need.

Good luck with your game. Looking forward to some pictures.

Also, I picked up the SAGA FIW rules. Well they are not SAGA, but are by the same company. I like what I have read so far. I just have not had time to play them yet. Life just keeps getting in the way of my toys.

Thanks, Matthew. Totally understand about life interfering with toys! Not sure I want to start with unpainted figures at this scale, though. At the speed I paint it would take eons to get an army on the table : )

I'm looking forward to photos of the game, too. I'll have 250 figures or so on a 5' x 10' table and will not have had a chance to array them all together before game day.

I've read the reviews of the "Saga" rules, but am so happy with the scale and playability of TVG that I haven't bitten that bullet, yet. I already have so many sets of rules I'll never play!

Thanks again for the feedback.
Chris
