Bargains
1. Bunker Hill Games (www.bunkerhillgames.com) offers a 5% discount to everyone in CAWS. Consider placing an order with them as they are our sponsor and their customer service is outstanding. After placing your order, you will need to email John (the owner) and let him know you are a member of our group and he will adjust your total.

2. Tanga (www.tanga.com) They regularly list games at steep discounts. On occasion they do have war games. The way Tanga worksis, they post a product/game at a certain price point and theyreplace it when it is sold out. Sometimes you can get really greatdeals. I have seen Tide of Iron for as little as $42.00.

3. Plano 3701 boxes 3.99 (http://www.amazon.com/Plano-3701-Prolatch-Adjustable-Dividers/dp/B000E39T5K) and qualifies for free shipping: This is the slim line version of the Plano 3700 box. It can be divided into 5-34 separate compartments. For those that have seen my Panzer Grenadier collection, this is the same box that I am using. (Thanks Orion for the tip)
