Ragbones, I was originally not a fan of cardstock terrain (and I am still not a fan of medieval fantasy cardstock terrain) but for some reason Battle Systems changed my opinion 180 degrees with their sci-fi stuff. And it saves me painting time to focus on painting medieval fantasy terrain. What I need to see now, when I get the time, is how I feel about mixing their sci-fi cardstock terrain with painted 3D plastic terrain since Christmas brought me a bunch of Mantic sci-fi terrain bits.

Edit: And I love it when folks like Battle Systems sci-fi terrain because that means we are likely to see the company do well and release more stuff!

I bought myself some Perry AWI militia and some Crusader woodland Indians as I am planning on doing something based on the Peckuwe campaign of 1780 using Rebels and Patriots or the new edition of Muskets and Tomahawks.

My wife bought me the Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Uniforms of the American War of Independence which I am very impressed with.

My family don't understand and I don't get any hobby stuff typically.

Whilst doing some Internet shopping for presents, however, I did turn up somewhere selling a Star Wars Legion AT ST for £22 with free postage. So that is a present of sorts!

Pictured alongside a Dewback rider and some Rebel pathfinders I also bought myself for Christmas!

Unfortunately myself and a friend got the last two. They do have a T 47 landspeeder for £13 though. Coolshop. co. uk

Tripods and Triplanes, which was actually a late birthday present.
And a set of miniatures from War in Christmas Village bought with
a gift card from a very good friend.

Sold some stuff in November, so I bought myself a box of the new Necromunda Cawdor, and for Christmas, via gift cards, I bought the rules and a copy of Inquisitor to replace my long sold-off copy.

Plenty to do in the next months!

armchair general, can you tell us more about the illustrated encyclopeida - especially if you can compare it to the Mollo book on AWI uniforms?  If so, thanks!
