More ranting

To be honest if I wanted to play a fantasy naval game I'd play me some of this:

Which actually rates pretty damn well on Board Game Geek:

7.55 out of 10 on BGG is a bloody high score. Anything over 7 is usually a damn fine game to play.

GW comming out with another winner *Face Palm* BGG is infiltrated with GW Fanboys. They SHOULD have re-released Man'o'War

She can sink my battleship any time.
I dunno, I always fancied a good fantasy naval game. Give you a chance to paint little tiny battleships and practice your pirate voice. As long as the rules didn't totally suck.

I can see why to be honest. Warships AND DIRIGABLES. Reminds me of the 'Nomad of Time' series by Michael Moorcock.

125GBP is only $237NZD. Anybody want to chip in for a battlegroup? There's FOUR in the box?

Those really are quite lovely figures. I mean LOOK at them!
$50 each? Jonathan? Aaron? Me? Daniel? Chris? I'd pay the extra $37 just to own the rules!

My god. Do those figures remind anybody of Epic 40k?

I'm always keen to spend money on figures I dont need!
But obviously cant check out the links till I get home.
Hell I spent $50 on a bunch of necromunda orlocks last month...
