Happy New Year! Magnetic Flight stands and other Christmas goodies

 Hope everyone had a great Holiday whatever your faith is.  Mine was fantastic with kids around for a good week.   

I would like to review several of the presents I was fortunate to receive starting with magnetic flight stands.

I bought 16 magnetic flight stands from Corsec 15 years ago and they have been great.  They are pictured to the left.  I have been able to paint on them and there is room for markers.  The problem is when planes are at high altitude the stands become unstable even with fighters.  Plus with Boom and Zoom I can get more aircraft on the board so I went looking for magnetic stands.  

I bought these from Wbaetzlbids on ebay for $9 a piece and they are great.  They are weighted so more stable then my Corsec stands.  There is less room for markers but a small price to pay for stability.  They easily move up my 6 levels of altitude.  I am pleased with this purchase.  Just search "magnetic flight telescoping flight stands in ebay.  

Next...

 I am a dice junkie and I really like blood red sky dice. I like the size and the unique look. These were bought used from Noble Knight games. Now my Japanese are all set.  I just wish they made Italian dice.

I also took the plunge into plastic aircraft and ordered some from Table top flights on 1 Dec.  I am still waiting to see how they look.  Mike apparently had some health problems.  

Finally I ordered some American Revolutionary War Peter Pig figures for their Washington's Army rules. I will report on them in a separate post.  

 Lastly I will be running a bombing mission over Germany at the Williamsburg Muster in February for anyone who is interested using Boom and Zoom.  

Short update but hope everyone is doing well.
