I remember doing a winter scenario at a con many years ago where it was a white tablecloth and lashings of table salt over everything! The trees look really snow blasted but like Curt I find getting stuff from the US costs a fortune in postage. In fact apart from Brigade Games they are all way too expensive because of the post. Re the winter table - I know you're a Napoleonic enthusiast and as good as CoC is, I could see this one just as good for doing an Eylau or Retreat from Moscow!Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-71210888017298029032015-02-14T07:45:56.183-05:002015-02-14T07:45:56.183-05:00Yes I do not think it is so much the company but t...Yes I do not think it is so much the company but the USPS, it is almost impossible to send something out of the US without using International Priority Mail.

WTF. This is why I do almost all my business with companies in the UK and Europe. Deep Cut Studio (in Lithuania) has similar products and they ship anywhere in the world for 10 GBP for as many mats as you want. I just don't get it.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-81323859875109139592015-02-13T10:32:09.388-05:002015-02-13T10:32:09.388-05:00Absolutely beautiful table John!
