For a x mas present to myself I got the cruel seas starter box. I just finished painting the first miniatures for the game. The miniatures are made from plastic ( S-boats and Vospers) the bigger ships like the coastal tanker are made from resin and metal. Included in the starter box are the torpedo markers and everything else you need to play. The rules are quite nice and give a very fast paced game. Alas in the first edition there were many mistakes in the rulebook so that warlord published grata 14 days after release of the game. Despite these problems at the start the game is really good. I like it and will play it a lot. There are some issues with torpedo shooting but nothing wich can't be tweaked if not liked as written. I will write a run through the rules later. Here are the miniatures. I got the starter and the tanker model. As said above the tanker is resin and metal the other boats are plastic as are the torpedo markers. Here is the tanker model:
Next up the two Vospers. There are two different Vosper versions in the basic game. A later war version with 4 torpedo tubes and an early version with 2 torpedo tubes.
Next up is the S 38 Schnellboot.
Here is the S100 Schnellboot with armored bridge.

Wonderful, and really liked the photo-etched railing you custom-applied to your S-Boots, that's really sharp! I bet you could sell those resin splash markers too, if you were so inclined (let me know). ;) |
