Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Having spent a few excellent holidays in the area of the Black Mountains (Mazamet, Castres, Carcassonne) I must say I love that region.

The complex pictures looks splendid! Will figures be able to fight inside the buildings?

Great work, I love the idea of seeing some houses mid construction I don't think I've ever seen the subject as terrain before (although I suggested similar for modern America a while back). 8)

the houses mid construction make very interesting terrain and are perfect if you are short of plastic windows, roof tiles etc  :D

i have used some ( no, many!) years ago, when we were playing old west . mid construction house is a sniper  dream  ;D
