By Fire & Sword: Swedish Skirmish set update

I posted a couple of weeks ago about the casting issues I had with the Swedish Skirmish set and then about how Wargamer.pl had got in touch and were going to send me a replacement set. Well now the replacement set has arrived and the quality of the castings is great and there's none of the problems I had with the original set. It did take almost two weeks to arrive and I was getting a little worried but out of the blue they e-mailed me to see if it had arrived yet which I thought was good customer service and anyway it arrived the next morning. Overall I'm happy and will be buying more figures from them, probably a Cossack skirmish set but I'm going to wait for the rules to come out to make sure I like them before investing more heavily.

Photographs from the American Civil War 2

Here are the next batch of photos. Again click on the pictures to get the full size image.

I wonder if the slope actually deflected enemy shot?

That's a nasty pile of grape shot!

Are they dead or just sleeping?

Clearing up after the battle

Those are some serious dents in the armour!

Photographs from the American Civil War

This isn't my usual type of post but I felt many of you might appreciate it. I received these photos from a friend and was surprised at how powerful the images were and how they made me think. There were over 120 photos in total and these are just a few of them, I'll post some more later this week. To get the full effect you need to click on the pictures to make them full size to see the detail.

I never really appreciated the size of these ships till I saw this photo

I wonder how the barrel got broken?

Hard to read but the shop sign says 'Price, Birch & Co. Dealers in Slaves'

I think this is Washington with the Capitol being built in the background.

Without the clothes to give it away this could be a WW2 scene

Swedish Skirmish set problems fixed

Just a quick update. 

Since my last post, about the quality of the castings in the 'By Fire & Sword' skirmish set I bought, the manufacturer has been in touch with me and is going to send me a replacement set. So you have to say that's excellent customer service. I'll do another review when they arrive.
