Title: Gripping Beast/Front Rank ?
Post by: forrester on 20 December 2021, 10:17:49 PM

Both companies have been carrying the same update, blaming the lawyers for not having finalised the deal, for ages.
However the advert on the back cover of December WI indicates that Front Rank are "available now".

Call me Mr Thickie, but I can't find any Front Rank section on the Beast website?

Adverts for print magazines can be written up to three months before the magazine hits the shelves.
GB probably paid for that expecting the deal to be done and it isn't yet.

That FR was for sale was, as far as I understood it, common knowledge.

Some people aimed fairly good impressions of corporal Jones at me in the summer when I bought £1500 worth of FR Spanish in just a couple of weeks - the website preventing me doing it as one order.  ;)

I still haven't got around to painting any of the Spanish I bought, though I am within sight of starting them at last (just the last three units of French to do, then I'll be ready). When I'm ready to paint, the figures are all here waiting, every man jack of 'em - no flies on me, Sir.

So now, here's my impression of private Fraser right back at yer.   lol

And, since I bought my £1500 worth, have the figures gone up by 10p?  ::)
