Some Assembly Required

[kingandy]

Today I bought the Micro-Universe SS Madame de Pompadour from Tesco on the way home, because (a) it was half price and (b) it came with a 35mm-scale Madame de Pompadour miniature that's right a Madame de Pompadour you can use in miniatures combat. For some reason I continue to find this hilarious.

Not, however, as hilarious as the instructions that came for assembling the ship on its display stand.

I know the range is aimed at kids, but I mean, really.

Combat sims have their hostages and VIPs, so I can see it.

The Micro-Universe game itself is pretty weak (it's basically Tom Trumps with an additional d6 random factor), but the real selling point is the miniatures themselves. They're the right scale to use in tabletop RPGs!
