Temptations

You are not a wargamer if you are not tempted by periods/figures/scales that you aren't planning on working on before the show. There aren't that many this time, but after a game of Flames of War, those 15mm Battlefront figures are looking lovely indeed. Walking around the show floor didn't help any since there are many painted WWII in 15mm sitting there tempting your wallet (I would have to say that on appearance alone, there are more WWII 15mm than any other range, Nappy might be a close second). Matter got worse since my chosen scale (N Scale) WWII didn't have much in presence to "jazz" me up. But after some lengthy soul searching, I decided that I really do not need a 4th scale in WWII (I have 10mm, 20mm, and 25mm already), so that got under control…

…until I noticed this new vendor by the name of Two Tin Soldiers (www.twotinsoldiers.com). Their forte is to make ranges of WW2 stuff that no-one else makes. They range that caught my eyes are the ww2 Chinese and Japanese range. Their quality are every bit as good as the majors. So now there's serious consideration to do the Pacific front in 15mm (Since there aren't much overlap in troop types between my 10mm stuff which are Eastern Front exclusively, and my 25mm project which is Western Front skirmishing). The urge was suppressed and no money changed hand. But that can all change if Flames of War ever comes out with a Japanese/Chinese expansion…
