I thought I'd give my early 20thC Colonial figures first crack at the 5" grid maybe because they've used it before, or perhaps because its been nearly a year since their last outing.

Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.
An excellent photo teaser. I look forward to seeing these chaps in action and the new grid tried out…
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan, technically that grid has been in use for more than 5 years since the rules never specified a size and sometimes this cloth was convenient.
DeleteI thought spring was when armies traditionally began to move? Or are the roads too muddy?
ReplyDeleteIts like the old days when the farmers were too busy farming to fight during the planting and harvest seasons. :)
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteYou are a real tease! I look forward to seeing your new 5-inch gridded battlefield in use again soon.
All the best,
Bob
Shouldn't be more than a day or two Bob, just been fine tuning my Colonial Square Brigadier when I had time and now everything is ready to go.
DeleteThat’s a great little picture Ross…
ReplyDeleteIt sets the scene nicely…
All the best. Aly
