A couple of quick corrections:
The website is actually
PE frets are being dropped for cast white metal parts in future sets. (As most of these parts are supposed to be three dimensional this is not a downgrade!)
Guns may be ordered separately (heavy guns are $14.95 and small broadside guns $4.95 each).
The 7" gun with the Alabama is a Blakely rifle, not a Brook rifle (mea culpa).
Check out their line of CIM-rope scale rigging ropes, very nice indeed!
