Silver Bayonet - The Future?

[Aethelflaeda was framed]

I have Billings wooden Viking ship model that has sat started but unfinished for 35 years.  Damn thing is the wrong scale for gaming but the wife bought it for me as a present when it was very much more than we could afford at the time.  If i try to scratch build something else before finishing it, it might be grounds for divorce.  I have deferred finishing by arguing the viking ship is too big for displaying in our house.  A frigate in 28mm scale is going to be as big…

This was the Demeter scenario, just fought in closer quarters than as written.  It worked fine.
 
I wasn't running this game, I think those are Perry longboats.

When I was googling about for ships like this, I did come across one on Etsy that was a bit longer, but it was also narrower, and the staircases were built out and ate up a good chunk of deck space.  It also needed gluing together which was a complete negative for storage space. 
 
The one linked on Amazon slots together solidly and breaks down to pack flat.

Are those longboats and 1/2 the rowers a single piece? As far as it looks you get two halves of the boat with three rowers already molded in place on each half as a single part and the rest of the crew are individual figs to fill the gaps.  Or am i missing something? I am really just looking for empty boats, or at least removable crew

Anyone got an opinion on Firelock Games’ sloop kits in plastic?

[Cat]

Yes, it looks like the Perry kit has half the crew moulded into the resin boat.  Firelock has an empty resin long boat (hmm, may have to pick up one or two of those myself, will have to ask at the FLGS...)
 
Don't have it, but the Firelock Sloop does look beautiful.  Eventually, I might break down and get one to convert to a Hudson River Sloop which has lower lines.  I'm more likely to use that in the Tappan Zee off Sleepy Hollow.

I'd be interested to see what ends up in "Britain" (see the first post in my thread for my long-held ideas about British folklore meets Napoleonic heroes...), since I've already re-skinned the subjects of the first book to Scotland...

Well I hope something new pops up soon. Would like to get a jump start on new characters.

I expect the tariff shenanigans has thrown plans and timetables into disarray.

[commissarmoody]

Nothing I have seen has messed with the timetable for release, so figures crossed on that front.

Meanwhile on the FB page they posted this.
Bow Street Runners.
Two new 'Soldiers' you can recruit to your Unit in the new book 'Britain', coming out in September.
Joe hasn't written any new Units into the Britain supplement, but there are new figures like the BSRs and Civilians to bring to you.

only 6 new figures mentioned!?! If that ain’t a production release  “let’s wait and see what the future brings” demeanor…i don’t know what is.  Previous books had a veritable plethora of figs with each and drumming up of pre-orders.  Maybe we will see more in September, but the tempo does feel a bit tepid. I will definitely be buying the 6 figs…and am very hungry for even more in the same vein, although the book itself i probably won’t buy.  I have been more intent on adapting Mr Norrel and Mr Strange to my gaming.

A recent article in one of the magazines had an interview with Wargames Atlantic discussing tariff impacts and methods they took to address them.  If North Star isn’t also thinking about how to address cross border sales in a tariff environment as well, i would be most surprised.

Lack of solo campaign is criminal. Real shame.

I’ll still get the book as it’s Britain, but the solo rules are a strong element of the game for me.

It could also be using a lot of miniatures from earlier releases and creating new versions would be redundant.
