Perry Miniatures' ACW Historical Wargaming Starter Boxed Set
« on: October 08, 2015, 07:41:42 PM »
Not sure if this has been posted already, but it sounds excellent and a good way to get people into the hobby. Other sets may follow depending on the sales of the first one.

"We are happy to announce Battle in a Box! We have been keeping this under our hats for some time but we are getting close to the release now. As you can see this is a full box! It's a big box too! Everything in the box is plastic, figures and terrain (from Renedra Ltd).
Included in the box there is a new ACW multi-part General sprue (x2) made by Michael.

There's also a revised set of 'Firepower' rules by our good mate Alessio Cavatore included along with flags, bases, painting guide, 4 ft of fencing and the American farmhouse. That talented artist Peter Dennis painted the box cover. The whole box works out at about a third off our normal prices.
We'll keep you updated!"

Guessing we would not see a Naps set until they have plastic artillery available. The ACW box has all three arms represented in plastic which may be why they have chosen that period first.

Not really a period I am interested in but great value for someone who is. I hope it sells well so that we see something similar for other ranges.
