The Battle of Norwegian Wood ( and village) 1808

 I set up a small game this afternoon to be played over the coming days. The Norwegians are attempting to hold the strategic hamlet of Norwegian Wood. The Swedish are advancing with orders to take the village. Unbeknown to them there are Norwegian ski troops and armed civilians in the area along with regular forces.

    1. Thanks Tidders, can’t go wrong with felt and a model railway backdrop.

    Alan, you never fail to surprise me with what I'm going to see on your blog. I love the background. It's brilliant.

    1. Delighted to surprise you Eric. As I was saying to Tidders a railway modelling backdrop really sets the scene easily and effectively. A few foam pieces under the cloth gives three dimensionality to things. I will see how the Square Brigadier works for this period, well I imagine.

    1. So simple , so effective and transforming to the table with minimum fuss. Only took a few minutes to put the winter backdrop in front of the usual one, secure it under the mat and add the cloth. In 2021 I must see what other backdrops are out there...
