White cliffs in 1/300 might be a challenge :) |

Is there any detail on how the game plays? |

Seems kind of pricey for what you get, IMO. |

I like the idea but some of the pictures I saw of games were so crowded with ships that it looked like a weekend at Lake Havasu. I think I'd prefer to game it with smaller ships and more maneuver. |

For the scale I think the price is fair on the miniature sets. Heroics & Ros are the only 1/300 option I know of and they would be 18 pounds for six Vospers. |

Yes, I also think the price is quite reasonable. Together with their appallingly good free postage threshold, this makes for a mighty tempting game to buy. I've always thought this narrow seas style action to be fascinating. Hopefully they come out with Italian MAS boats! I wonder how the rules are? This is entirely personal, but I don't like Bolt Action or Pike and Shotte, and I'm meh on Black Powder, so – for me – Warlord rules haven't been overly attractive. I realize I'm in the minority here! And, admittedly, I can always use the Warlord models for other rules. I do admit I quite like their figures in other games! |

I like the idea but some of the pictures I saw of games were so crowded with ships that it looked like a weekend at Lake Havasu. Ha! Nice description! I often think the same thing when I see 28mm platoon scale games. Totally subjective, but I completely understand. |

When I talked to a Warlord representative, asking about a MAS boat set was my first comment. |

Waiting for the rules on this one. |

Any retailers offering these in the USA? |
Wackmole9 | 28 Oct 2018 7:43 p.m. PST |
Warlord does with free shipping. |

I have the same opinion as Tony S WRT Warlord Games products. I'm definitely going to be in a wait and see mode for rules reviews and AARs. Going to be a tall order to replace Action Stations! And given my already existing 1/600 collection, you're not going to get me to start doing 1/300 with a gun to my head… |
