Re: Something for the Cavalry Fans
Very nice. What brand of static grass is that? Looks like a very good looking blend of colours.

Re: Antietam road marching
<r>Nope, not a dead end. At least it shouldn't be. I did some more digging and I think I narrowed the place down. If you try and deploy your artillery in front of the woods looking towards Dunker Church (from the union perspective) The road works just fine up to a point.<br/> <br/> Up until here all...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<r>I don't push the grass into the glue myself. I just dunk the PVA'd base into the grass and then give the base a couple of snaps from my finger to shake off any excess.<br/> <br/> Using tufts seems to be all the rage these days. Looking at the pages of wargames illustrated, it seems static grass i...

Re: The Ultimate Civil war Game wish list.
<t>There is no way Norbsoft can ever match Creative Assembly for their battlefield visuals. You don't have the money or manpower to compete on their arena. What you can compete on is by doing what you currently do: Offer big, complete battles in realtime and with proper groundscale (The NTW "histori...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<t>For your average 4 foot deep table I'd suggest a regimental level game for starters. Either that or a portion of a larger battle on a brigade scale. Black Powder might be worth looking into, I've tried Hail Caesar and it was good fun, but Priestley is a big table man too. Those old Grognards have...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<r>A mere six feet by eight feet. <E>;)</E><br/> There's another problem with the official fire and fury scenarios. The forces are huge and so are the tables. I guess the author has a huge collection himself or a group of friends to pool with. It'll take a long while to do a set like that. It's easi...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<t>The complete OOB for Shiloh with fire and fury accommodates 220 infantry stands for union and 180 for the confererates. On this scale its 200 men per stand, I think. I've been tinkering with the idea of converting the game into 400 scale, effectively halving the amount of stands. <br/> <br/> -Maz...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<r>Fire and Fury is excellent fun but many of the "official" scenarios are just huge and need an enormous collection of figures. I have some 80+ stands of infantry pre side and I can barely play the smallest scenarios out there. I think Antietam uses more than 250 stands for union, so I'll stick to ...

Re: Some 10mm figures
<r>nice work! Which rules do you use?<br/> <br/> I do 6mm myself, here's some pictures from a GB day one I hosted some time ago. We use Fire & fury:<URL url="http://mazikainen.blogspot.com/2012/01/fire-fury-gettysburg-day-1-in-6mm.html"><s>[url=http://mazikainen.blogspot.com/2012/01/fire-fury-ge...
