I had a fellow threaten me last year. He said he was going to contact the staff at Enfilade and get them to retract my awards for Roman Seas because I should...
Hi Eric, Wow, that's rather uncalled for (being polite). Bought your Roman & barbarians set a few years ago and have dabbled in a spot of galley bashing. (Now...
On a related note, if the stars align and Eric's editing efforts come through in time, I'm going to be putting on a Roman Seas game at Historicon this year. ...

All the Roman Seas ship models in the Roman Seas gallery (built by Eric Hotz) are based onto cold press illustration board. This is about three times as thick...
