Once again I find myself considering getting some forces together for SvP (Pendraken&#39;s 10mm range has caught my eye...), but I'm not sure how much to buy. I'm...

That did occur to me. NWF would need a lot more terrain to be made. Plus, Sudan has always been my primary interest of all the colonial wars. Think I might...
