I am most decided on modern spearhead - I just won't commit to having an army ready this year! As I said last year, I am more than happy to do a tour of the siege of Chester followed by the Battle of Rowton Moor - just like I did with Montgomery. I think another trip to Timecast would be excellent. I wonder whether a trip to Caliver Books on the way to JoS would be good - they have tonnes of 2nd hand books that don't get to the shows. And of course the ever threatening potential of another visit to Salute?

Just ordered modern spearhead from caliver and discovered also that caliver are now doing a black and white reprint of fire and fury brigade level for £19.50 which is a lot cheaper than its going for on eBay! I will be getting a copy,just because my original is a tattered pensioner. Once modern spearhead has arrived I'll order bases from my metal man and ( deep breath and resigned shrug) order from h&r any vehicles that are damaged or missing from my OOB

Good luck with your Heroics & Ros experience. Based on Marks latest order it appears as though the level of service has gone from dire to even more dire.

On a plus note if you order now you might get them before Christmas....
