Some thoughts on service. It used to be the case that when you ordered stuff by post it would take 21 or 28 days to arrive. I know, it's difficult to believe isn't it.

Now service is much, much quicker and I would like to highlight a couple of supplier that offer exceptional turnround. The first is the Empire Game Store. I use this great little online shop for my Flames of War models. More often than not the figures will be with me the day after I ordered them. I actually don't know how he does it.

And second, Tony Barr at East Riding Miniatures. I have place a few orders recently for Ming Chinese and Malays and on every occasion the figures have come back within 2 days.
