[WABlist] Re: Was Gil..., Now Moving On...Thracian edition

 

Allen,

Thanks again!

The Crusader stuff is kinder on the wallet than Foundry, so there's a bonus.

First Corps made Greeks with Corinthian helms propped up on top of their head. So..."counts as" open faced helmets...? heeheeheehee...

I'm aiming for early as potential opponents are looking at Immortal's plastic Greeks and the barbarian "celt" players can jump in too.

Need to look through Jeff's site again.

Allen
