"Need extra ladders for Alamo" Topic

this may be something Russ from OG can address, or it may be that other manufacturers have ladders available in separate packs.

the Blue Moon/OG storming party for the Mexicans includes 6 ladder carriers and 9 climbers and 3 ladders. That is enough to have EITHER ladders carried or climbed. But I like to have both, so I can switch off the carrying parties and replace with assaulting climbers when a column reaches a wall. Also, of course, the garrison needs a lot of ladders inside; all those Texians on rooftops!

So I'd like to be able to get extra ladders, preferably to match the OG ones -- but if anyone else makes ladders separately, they might do as well.

At Cold Wars I was on a qwest for them also. Couln't find any . So I'll continue

Old glory has a pack of seige ladders in 25mm.
Maybe they could be cut down for 15mm.

Ask Old Glory if they can price them separate for you. I have done this numerous times and have always gotten a fair deal on what I wanted. Their customer service is first class.

I concur with James. Old Glory has bent over backward to accomodate several special requests for separate figures from me in the past.

I've built lots of siege ladders for LotR. It was a bummer when I decided my Minas Tirith walls really needed to be an inch higher than my Helm's Deep walls -- no army surplus for servants of evil, I guess. I like GW's design -- although they look awkward, they're set up so you can wedge a figure's base into the rungs (if where you are on the ladder becomes important). I just use the plastic white Evergreen Scale Model sticks available at the FLGS, a strong plastic bond glue, and go to town. They come together remarkably quickly.

Some time back we made a change in the packaging of that code to include nine ladders -- if you need ladders from an earlier purchased packs just let us know. Also, we will sell seperate ladders for those who want more.

Thanks, Russ, that's excellent. I'll be in touch.
