Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat.

Looks great Ross.
ReplyDeleteThanks, a promising start.
DeleteThat's a great looking table Ross!
ReplyDeleteNot your standard dioramic look and lots to do but I like where its going.
DeleteLooking good , Tony
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the table! The openness of the table reminds me more of what folks like Max Hastings describes as the "look" of the Russian Front in WWI. I still can't get over the fact that there were nine soldiers for every yard of front in the west while there ratio was three and a half yards of front to each soldier in the East. It looks like there will be room to maneuver during the battle. Nice job.

Thanks. I think that Western Front ratio is from the height of trench warfare and includes reserves, artillery etc as well as the front lines but in any event the early war was more open. The Germans could have used another battalion though.
DeleteNice added effect by having the mirror in the background!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading the after action report on the games.
