Yes, great terrain.

That photo of the mounted troops - look like they escaped from A Wind and The Lions game!  :D. Also, third from viewers left strangely looks like he has a third arm on his right side sticking out his back!  Ack.  (probably just camera angle).

Again, very cool terrain.

Do hope you can find the time to flesh our your Black Flags range Ged. It's your best and IMHO one of the finest single ranges of any 28mm figures out there.
BTW you bill your new rule set as for far fewer figures than is illustrated in this demonstration game. Will they work for bigger sides?

Table looks amazing!

BTW, do you have a U.S. distributor?
"The U.S. Army's mission is to fight and win the nation's wars,
and its vision is to be a global force that fights at the scale required."

Sir, I respectfully suggest 1/56 & 1/100 as the best scales in which to fight...!

Hi Nogbad many thanks for the kind comments
regarding the Rules you can have as many figures
as you want..its quite open ended. i will be looking
at possibly expanding my black flags and maybe
adding more units... :-* :-*

My very first colonial collection, over 50 years ago, were Scruby French Indochina forces.  Always liked that range.

Just to say the Tonkin Rules are in the
process of reprinting due to heavy demand
which is exciting to say the least

I just  received my Tonkin order this evening Ged. Awesome service as usual, the figures made it to SoCal in just over a week. The rules look very good from what I see so far, the scale is definitely my sweet spot for 28mm.

I estimated the amount of figures I’d need at about 20-30 per side to start out and it’s about dead center for a peleton-sized evening skirmish. The sculpts are great quality with very little to no flash. I can’t wait to get these painted up. I’m a very happy customer. Thank you!
