A preliminary inspection of the most vulnerable of the 15mm figure lots seems to indicate that they've made it to the southern hemisphere relatively unscathed. I was packing my pants a little when I saw that one of the A4 sized file drawers had collapsed in on itself; miraculously, however, there appears not to have been any crushing damage to speak of, and those layers of protective clear varnish did their bit for the cause.
There may yet be some tears to come, but so far so good!
One of my first acts must be to put on a game for some of the Nelson wargamers who've welcomed me so kindly.
So now there's just the small matter of deciding what that game should be...
As a postscript, I was quite amused to see that Pat, one of my board wargame mates in Japan, was so taken with last year's What a Tanker! game that he's possessed himself of a very fine collection of Dragon and Hobby Master 1/72 AFVs, and looks as if he's going to start converting the neighbours!
Sounds like you may be back up and running very soon.
ReplyDeleteHope so, Jonathan!
DeleteI only moved 4 miles and got damaged figures !!! So yours have done exceedingly well, hope they get to see the danger of flying dice soon :-)
ReplyDeleteStill a few more boxes to unpack, but it's a strong start!
DeleteMoving miniatures is MUCH tougher than moving the family;)

Lol, sure is!
DeleteIt is always a relief unpacking and finding no breakages.
ReplyDeleteYes, I found you tend to put a lot of thought into how best to safely transport them!
DeleteIt's a great feeling to get back your little friends. I'm glad you don't seem to have too much damage.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get them on table again, to be honest :)
DeleteIt'll be great to see you gaming again Aaron love your AAR posts! Go on crack open Lost Battles for old times sake ;-D
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Tony. I will at some point, no question!
