Yes, an 8 x 6 feet terrain layout for a Thirty Years War game using my 28mm figures, plus any I can borrow or steal to boost overall numbers. I have it in mind to paint up a couple of extra command stands for that eventuality, so all those uber-dull ECW figures can fight as Imperialists/ Protties.

The Wargamer show is at Great Barr in Birmingham (that's England, not Alabama) on December 11th.

Do pop along and say "Hello" - I had better get the project finished now!

I have never built terrain before, and I have to say I am thoroughly enthused by the whole thing. Very therapeutic, even if materials costs are stretching a bit.........

It is a good job I have a lovely wife. (There, I said it, and she will not even be reading this!!!!!)

Tony,

Looking forward to it.
Just a week to go.
Just as long as I can get the Swedish Yellow Regt finished and the Imperialist Aldringen one.....all will be fine!

See you there,

Gary

A well deserved win by your good self Gary.
My Peninsular game came to an abrupt end the move after Sharpe and Harper (with 10 other riflemen) burst into a house and found Obidiah Hakesill alone. He was promptly shot , but as the riflemen left the building a load of Frenchmen jumped and they got clobbered. Pity really as I was doing quite well as Sweet William on the other side of the village. Never mind, c'est la guerre.
