While "treasure hunting" in a few of my favorite stores, I picked up some items that got me feeling .... creative!

Find#1 The full set of Crossbows and Catapults. Found in Toys R Us. Base set plus expansion sets totaled under $45.

Find#2 Battle Masters. Found in Goodwill store for $1.99 Has most of the figures and best of all, the arge vinyl map.

Now if I can JUST find a 2nd copy of the map (or the whole set) then I can finally playtest my version of Battlelore.

The C&C figs and the BM figs will make up my armies. Throw in a few D&D minis for Hill Giants and such and I have a large scale Battlelore set.

Add in the range rules of C&C and I have my hybrid fantasy war game!

If I don't find a 2nd map soon, I may just have to take the wife's abuse for hand-drawing hexes on our nice white folding tables.... 8-)
