    You can count myself and Captain Kiwi in, plus probably McDorf. I will check with him on Saturday.

    I realise its only August, but looking at the list, thats no models released this year for Wings or Sails this year.
    Yes there is the new Tripods but at this time cant see us getting before Xmas, hope I am wrong.
    But as we spoke about, looking at the list of Ares games we will be lucky to see another wave release for a few years.
    Again hope I am wrong.
    On a different not would you mind sending me your file of the Struck, Captured and Surrendered markers please

    Hi Chris.
    hope we are wrong about this but can't see anything on the horizon.
    I will forward you the files but do check the sizes after what we also said about the printers/ computer problem.

    Not really showing how it all ended but I can guess anyway from who fired in the last picture.

    In a further heated exchange St Francis strikes to Beleraphon, having been softened up for the kill by Captain Kiwi.
    The final Spanish ship flees the action. (Actually the captain has to leave, but we hope he will join us on Sails in the future as he did stop for both games.)

    Game three to follow.

    I had the same issues that I have had before, and signed out, at which time I was able to see the smaller versions. When I signed back in, I could see the larger versions.

    Yes Chris.
    Had a great day.
    No idea what is causing the glitch, and as I'm off to duff up the Royalists from today until Monday i will have to leave you all with the conundrum I'm afraid.

    Dobbs solution worked but it should not be necessary.
