A wee game

 I’ve been messing about today with a wee tray bien game. Drew hexes on to paper and popped it onto the tray. Using mdf hexes for variations in height and trees for woods. I will add stones to signify rough ground. Got out some of my Jazz Imperialism chaps and had a fun wee game. Just a trial today but moving forward…

  1. I've been experimenting with Minceheim on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Will double the "table" size next and use Warhammer minis.

    1. It’s also so practical a game to be taken anywhere in the house and outside on a lovely summers day…

  4. It seems like it would work with the number of figures shown.....what rules are you using...or have you created your own?

    1. I tried it with the Portable Wargame rules and it was fun. I would like to try it with one page skirmish rules too.

  8. Looks like fun 👍🏼👍🏼. Love the small set up. Sometimes ‘less is more’, we’re told, and I very much agree. And Portable Wargame ‘has legs’, and can give great results without excess number-crunching . Good to see, sir!!

  9. Do you remember a guy called Hugh Walters? I believe I have the name right, of Paragon Wargamers? He had a Gladiator game, played in a biscuit tin if my memory serves me. Think it used magnetized bases, and you stored the figures etc. in the tin, with lid on.You would need a decent sized tin of course.
