FREE model MBT’s for Cruel Seas
« on: November 30, 2018, 01:47:57 PM »
Ahead of the release of Warlord’s Cruel Seas game, Wargames illustrated as a free plastic sprue on the cover of the December issue (just out).

Note there are two types of freebie, so look through the mags to get the one you want, I picked up the sprue that has Vosper MBT’s.

These are 1/300 scale and the ships shown here are 3” long, the other one being given away is longer, say 4 to 5”.

As well as the freebie, the issue looks quite good, so if you are passing WH Smith (high street newsagent in the UK), it might be worth you popping in, I can’t see these being available for long.

I have a photo up on my Commanders webpage if anyone is interested. LINK

I've gleaned a couple of what, to my very untrayned eye, appear to be Jerry E- Boats... pm me it they're any good to you.

My reaction to this was “huh? as if I’m really interested in this.” The issue seemed a bit slow in arriving in the shops and I presumed it had sold out. Then it appeared in WH Smith’s and inevitably I had two copies so I could have both the E-Boots and the MTBs. Interestingly there was only one E-boot copy left. Do people prefer the E-Boot? Are they “sexier”? They have a certain appeal but it’s the 75’ of throbbing plywood Vosper power with dual Lewis guns for me every time!

If anyone has any that they don' want I'll happily accept them for the school club
