Thanks - as far as I can see rarewaves don’t have any counters any more - so I sourced some from Germany.

However I have ordered some ships (Carmagnole, Imperial and Mahonesa) from them at very prices - providing they arrive intact without customs issues (hopefully not as each package is below £15). I’ve also ordered a number of ships from a UK eBay source at £9.95 plus p&p as well as more from Zatu.

While the reprinted starter set will be a birthday/Christmas present my wife is already eyeing the couple of ships I have so far and telling me that not only do we have to store them and the others en route but I have to use them too :-).

Regards

Edward
