Yep, I ordered the Black SS way back about then too to be honest,
I have to admit I am really gutted to find out that the sets are not going to be complete ORBATS
as I thought they were. I'm not complaining though, I'm still looking forward to them it's just that it doesn't make sense to me that they will make a really cool set of counters but not make it complete

As I say, I just hope they either make them complete or release another set to finish them off (although that means I would need to find more money again to pay for them)

I believe Ray runs a demand and supply business, the demand for these probably wasn't as much as his other stuff, hence why it was getting pushed down the printing queue.

Thanks, yeah, I guess so, still, I have to say I am really surprised as I would have thought that 'Black' SS would have been a really popular item and fly off the shelves (I know it divides a lot of people but it seems to appeal to as many folks as it offends others)

If I had the money I would very likely buy into the other nationality sets Ray is bringing out at the moment but I just don't have the cash gosh darn it:D The US Paras/Rangers looked pretty cool it has to be said

I ordered one of those leader sheets where you get a few leaders with whatever name and rank you choose. I bought them as a Christmas (2015) gift for my son and ordered them really early, like in September. I ended up getting them in like February or March, well after Christmas.

If they are not complete, then do you know what they do (and don't) include? I'll be damned if I can figure it out ... I saw that in addition to the main set there were two separate sheets available for them but I don't know if they are duplicates or something else.

Dutch_Trucks_5ss_FINAL_PROOF.jpg Here are pics of the proofs I did for RT with the dutch truck setDutch_Trucks_4ss_FINAL_PROOF.jpg . I think the main sheets will cover most of the SS OB.

I wish those images (even smaller versions to protect from piracy) were on CH's site and they offered similar images for other products. I would spend a lot more money with them if they were more transparent in what they are offering and when it might arrive.

have to admit, I don't honestly have a clue, beyond the basic 6-5-8 and corresponding half squad I just don't know

The website price is 70 bucks for 5 SS counter sheets but RT might include a discount code for them in his next mailer.

That's a pretty good price even without a discount. The detail on the AFV camo is impressive, best I've see so far.

I agree somewhat. Cash is very scarce these days or I would have been ordering more counters than I do.

I passed on this because I have enough black counters. I did get the U.S olive green counters. Not as much, but I don't know what they look like. proofs also?

Yep, I would have loved to have got the US ones but I don't have any Black counters so figured to spend the money on those instead
