TCS, 545 Newport Ave., Suite 155, Pawtucket, RI 02861, sent some resin 15mm items for mention. First of all, my favorite, ER73 Walled Monastery domed gate hourse ($18) is a 3 1/2" X 4 1/z" walled area with an entrance. There is a church and two small barn-like structures attached to the base. There is a separate domed tower of 3 1/z" tall. Billed as a "European" structure, it could see duty in Spain or Italy. Next are a group of 15mm destroyed or damaged structures: ER25d large wood/thatch house ($4), ER10d totally destroyed log cottage ($4), ER27d medium wood/thatch house ($4), ER10p partially destroyed log cottage ($5), ER28p partially damaged large wood house, ER17/18d totally destroyed small Russian log church ($4), ER36d totally destroyed medium log house, and ER3d totally destroyed thatch roof house ($4). I find these destroyed and partially destroyed buildings to be very useful on the wargames table for 15mm WWII. The totally destroyed buildings have lots of rubble, which looks good. TCS offers a "European Buildings" line which is quite extensive and for each of the buildings, you can obtain it partially or totally destroyed, which gives you a lot of damaged buildings, if you are into that sort of thing. You might also want to check out their rivers and roads systems. I use their rivers (5-15mm size) for my 15mm/20mm gaming and like the way they look. A bag of basic rivers (32" total for seven pieces) costs you only $10; they paint up very well and look quite effective. I haven't tried the road system. However, for the river system, TCS offers the following packs: basic, straight, curved, special "Y" with ponds/rocks, wide, swampy, wide rocky, canyons, kidney pond, 45/60/90 degree curves, river source, rocky narrow, short narrow, beaver pond, large to narrow river, and "T" sections. I think youll be very pleased with the prices and quality. Highly recommended!
