If you want to be serious wargaming WW1 you need the supplement (in my humble opinion, it really should have been included in the initial release, at least for...
The supplement was not included in the release of FAI because it would have
pushed the price up and would have meant a release date delay. The cost of

Thanks Warren for posting the article. From skimming it....it looks like storing figures in a garage you use for your cars is a bad idea. It also looks like...
What a great article on the lead ship fittings melting away. How does this fit in with Alnavco, CinC, and Superior ship models? Has anyone ever observed...
