Some More SCW Figures...Plus....Exciting News!

 Firstly, I have got some more of my SCW Republicans based. These figures have been sitting on the painting desk finished for about a week, but I had run out of my favoured bases - for skirmish type single bases, that's NZ 10c coins (same size as a British penny and used to be 2c coins when I first arrived in NZ - that's inflation for ya!) Anyways I finally made it into an ACTUAL BANK yesterday and obtained $10 worth of bases .... I am possibly committing some heinous offence but I doubt anyone is going to find out and/or report me to the relevant authorities :)

First up its a few more of the Republican Regulars

Officer

NCO

A couple of LMG gunners

Mortar Crew

A next, the last of the Militiamen

Part The Second

Meanwhile, in 28mm news, the build up to the next solo Pulp game has begun

Our heroic British ladies have been joined in their remote desert encampment by their pale skinned Foreign Office contact, Cambridge graduate Kimberly Ffyll-Baye. What could possibly go wrong now?!

Back at the local German HQ, the main characters meet to discuss their next move. Fraulein Doktor Else Schneider is absent, still recovering in the Feldlazaret from the severe punishment dished out to her by the Britischer Sshweinhunde!

Not too far away, the Italian team has arrived at their Libyan forward operating base and are being inducted by the local station chief (ess)

The French agents, after a leisurely six course déjeuner, have a second meeting with the shadowy Government official

Whilst in the Reichskanzlei, a full review of the recent shambolic efforts in North Africa is underway

And Uncle Sam's nieces are ready to go!

And finally - the Exciting News!

After almost 12 months, I seem to have resolved my non delivery issue with Lon at Brigade Games. 

Thanks to a helpful US brother in arms (step forward Mr Jonathan Freitag!) I was able to obtain contact details for the New Jersey State Government Consumer Affairs Department. Having received an email reply from this fine body, I copied and pasted it into the Brigade Games CRM query number and advised Lon that I intended to lodge a complaint against his business with his state regulators

Lo and behold, not a couple of hours later, I had a response from Lon.....

After a few emails to and fro earlier today, the situation was resolved amicably and Lon will resupply the full order at no additional cost to me...RESULT!

I do feel that the mention of an official complaint is what elicited the long awaited resolution of this situation but I let it go and was all nice as pie with Lon - after all, he has some nice figures and I don't want to get offside with him, as I will likely want to order from him again in the future.

So, everything seems to be coming together - although of course we won't know for certain until the second batch of figures are in my hot little hands - hopefully, this will be around the 12 month anniversary of the date I actually submitted and paid for the order - 4 July 2021!
