No good, you have to swim ashore as they do not let ships all the way in.

No virgins when I was there. Working 6 weeks on 2 weeks off for years I went round most of the Caribbean, I like the outer isles, much prettier than The Dutch Antilles, less overdeveloped than the Virgin Islands.

I'm feeling incredibly virtuous, as I'm only playing solo games atm and I fancied a break from Zona Alfa I decided to get the solo supplement for Frostgrave. I could have got it for nothing from some site that wanted me to register with it but I was a good boy and bought it from Osprey.

I’ve ordered three battalions worth of ACW Union infantry from Jacklex plus a few other bits and pieces, mainly a couple of dismounted cavalry regiments.

I recently ventured into the loft to see what completed Rose Napoleonic units I had there to add to my recent project; to collect my painted RJW figures and see what there was, to add to the bunch recently or about to be painted; and the various vintage ACW figures to unite them with recent Rose and Hinton Hunt acquisitions - hence realising I need some more Union infantry.

There has been some mention elsewhere of Jacklex and I would thoroughly recommend them, both the figures and artillery themselves, and Mark the owner of the new company, who just knows how to do things properly.

He is filling in gaps and adding whole new ranges as well - there is a French intervention in Mexico range in its way to which I am particularly looking forward.

Rather splendid additions to the ACW Range here - I had to order two regiments Of the guys in greatcoats last night when I saw them - this is from a third party blog:

The painted figures on his display stand make them exceedingly appealing

I'm fighting the urge to buy some Jacklex. I don't need any, I just want them. The French Intervention thing looks interesting.....but so does the Russo Japanese War.................and I may need more Egyptians..................doh!
