With both the kitchen table and dining table commandeered for ongoing art work or studying I am unable to set up big games. I have therefore set up a game (see yesterday's post) using the converted garden potting bench I adapted for inside use-
The game can be left up ,out of everyone's way, ready to be played on and off over a couple of days. The railway background paper helps shut out the real world and adds atmosphere to the look of the thing.
Miniature gaming! I don't see a problem.
ReplyDeleteTradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my own pin board-based set up. I can get a 6 x 8 grid of Hexon II hexed grid tiles on it, which is great for a small PW battle.
All the best,
Bob
Nice set up ! , Tony
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I keep meaning to get a board set up for The Portable Wargame.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny when the kids come home and totally upset you routine how happy you are to have it happen.
The Final Frontier!
ReplyDeleteIt's nifty little setup you have there! The railroad paper background is a nice addition.
I am impressed at the mileage you get out of little space. Let that be a lesson to me!
ReplyDeleteI used the same terrain on a large Pinboard. You can get an 8 x 6 grid with the grain running left to right. Even if a gamer does not have a table, this sort of thing can be lifted onto an ironing board.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone does this, get an MDF Pinboard rather than a cork one to avoid it dipping in the middle. I glued some foamcore board to the rear of mine to further reduce the chance of dipping.
It was Norm's example that I used when I created my own pin board set-up.
DeleteAll the best,
Bob
Looks very good.... well done.
DeleteMore power to your elbow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat little set up. And I thought my 10 x 3" square board was narrow!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your board it would be interesting to do a wide battle but with limited visibility say night or dawn attack or fog to explain why the approach march was unseen. Tel El Kebir anyone?
