Actually, the last batch I bought was 49" long. What's funny is that both my desert boards and urban boards were true 48" and I have made numerous 2x2' boards in the past by cutting boards in half. They always ran true until this last batch... :? They still line up ok. Just make sure to always measu...

Each board weighs 15-16 pounds :shock:, but the MDF weighs around 12.5 pounds with nothing on it... While much heavier than foam alone, these boards will take a beating. They may be heavy for transporting, but you could hit every convention on the tour with out having to repair them! As I said, mine...

???

No idea. I'll find out. I rarely (read never) transport my terrain so I only have to move them about four feet from the storage closet!

I'll weigh one tomorrow and let you know...

While not all of the boards will fit together, the combinations I can get with the six boards are still impressive. I came up with fifteen different layouts without even trying. I have made boards in the past that would line up no matter how you placed them, but found the layouts to still be very si...

For anyone who's interested (and doesn't already know), I have an ongoing series of articles on my site describing the process I use to build terrain boards. I just posted the fourth installment and the fifth will be up soon. Feedback would be appreciated and I'll be happy to answer questions about ...

I didn't really like the campaign part of the game, but the one-off battles were fun...

Anyone else addicted to this game? I am not a fan of RTS games - directing all those peasants around gets in the way of fighting battles and makes me feel more like a quartermaster than a general. Imperial Glory has a "campaign game" that is similar to many other RTS games (althought the AI sems bet...

Maybe. They are designed around my collection of models - i.e. three stand infantry regiments. The Imperialist Tertios might cause a problem since I can't see how to represent them without using eight stands! I think you would have to try it and see what kind of house rules you can make for those ju...

Thanks, Peter.

This may well stop Ian Beal pestering me to post up my 1644 amendments That's what made me write my own rules! :lol: I tried to use ULB but it quickly became obvious that pikes played a more important (and numerous) role in the ECW than the period ULB is designed for. I tried fielding units with tw...

I'm the guy who sent Barry "a very fine set of ECW rules" (high praise indeed following ULB). Following Barry's advice (I've been meaning to post the announcement for some time), they are now available free via e-mail from my articles page... http://www.quindia.com/studioarticles.htm They are in the...

I finished my first Royalist foot regiment (no photos yet) and have the second one out on my painting table! As far as rules go, I was going to make an announcement on the board (and probably still will), but I haven't got around to it. I wrote my own set of rules called Victory Without Quarter and ...

I use Litko 3mm bases. They have thin ones under 1mm and they look good on the table, but they tend to warp. The 3mm ones stand up to a lot of glue and paint and they are laser cut so they fit together perfectly.

Christmas was good to me too - my girlfriend gave me the box set of the entire Sharpe series on DVD, enough Scots ECW models to build a couple of infantry regiments, a bronze sculpture of Napoleon, and tie that features the Bayeux Tapestry. Oh, yeah, I got some socks too... Hope everyone else had a ...
