I don't mind that Mongoose is updating the print copies as they go. The problems though are a) having an update so soon after release is annoying to those who pre-order and b) why is the new data still not available to download?

Very nice!

See http://viewfromtheturret.com/2007/04/07/victory-at-sea-another-view/. Both the podcast and the ref sheet.

I was confused by the new rule as well. So any plane with spotters automaticlly gets the bonus or there is no spotter bonus anymore?

Yeah I ordered mine direct almost a full month ago and it has not arrived yet either.

I think 1" or 1 1/4" would probably do it even when based on something 1/8" thick. If you did have the odd tall mini (like maybe a trawler?) you could also place it on its side.

I do something similar that I think looks a bit better and is probably easier. I use 1 1/4" wood circle bases and drill about a 1/8" hole (basically just eyeball your bundle of wire) in the center. I then run various lengths (about 2") of 1/32" brass wire out from it and bend them out. So from...

You guys can thank me for the second edition. I just bought everything about a year ago so of course there is a new edition. :wink: It does look good though.

There is one at www.viewfromtheturret.com

New version of the FAQ up (2 pages) in case you missed it.

Yeah the crew damage rules seem fine to us as well. Normally they are not an issue but a raging fire will toast your crew up pretty fast!

GHQ (www.ghqmodels.com). 1/1200 CAP Aero used to be my aircraft of choice but I recently discovered the plastic 1/600 stuff and really like it (actually thanks to one of the chaps around here). Cheap, look great, and they even come with decals! I base all my stuff on custom plywood bases from...
