I'm still sorting through my recently deceased best friends wargaming collections.

I have now reached his 15mm ACW figures.

My quandary is what to do with them.

I went through the same situation 4 years ago. I curated and sold my deceased friends collection. Took almost 2 years. Money went to his widow. She and I decided to give some close friends some select pieces and allowed friends first crack and very good value.

Nice collection. Good luck with finding them a good home.

Wow that is massive. Very nice too.

Jim….if you want to do a tribute to your friend, array the forces for battle and take some good pictures. I will feature it in ACW Gamer.

@ACW Gamer

Thanks for your kind offer. I have had a number of bids and I have selected one giving a good return on these figures.

NP, Jim. I just thought it might be a nice way to showcase the collection. The good news is, it sounds like they are off to fight another day!!

Jim,
My condolences for your loss; a sad task indeed.

The figures have now gone to a good friend and I got a reasonably good price with hardly any haggling.

A plus for me is that I can get to borrow them back if I ever get around to playing a game where I would need forces of this size.

Win, win!
