    I have acquired a Harbor Freight laser and here's a comparison of laser light. Bear in mind that the laser in the picture is not the one being demonstrated.

    Suzanne pointed out that the Harbor Freight one kind of looks like a telescope, so I think I'll dab some brass on it for effect.

    All in all, it seems like a pretty decent purchase. The body is metal. The batteries that came with it were shot, but the store gave me 20% off because of it. The base has magnets in it, so beware, it's attractive

    Thanks for the comparison Dobbs.
    I am very interested in that Harbour Freight one, because of the stand.
    When using my laser in solo games for the Anchorage it id often quite difficult to get the Laser in position with one hand and activate the camera with the other when marking the fire from one ship to the other, especially if trying to get a rakeing line and a good angle of photo without getting your hand and laser in the shot, plus maintaining a crisp line just from the ship which is firing and not an overlapping line is almost impossible to achieve.
    With that gismo I would elininate most of the problems in one go.
    How much did you have to stump up for it?

    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
