Battle Stations!

There's just too much work to be done before Winter sets in to allow more than a bit of hobby time so I decided to just focus on two opposing ships.   I had a wee bit of trouble getting the paint to stick to some of the plastic despite my bag of tricks but I got there eventually (so far at least).

(ps: The dark ship is actually dark brown, not black.)

I started in on a set of rules for  maneuvering the ships etc and soon finding myself getting too focused on the weather, winds, and seamanship when all I really want is an action packed game which can be turned into a blog story. So the sailing bits are now minimized and my current Prince Valiant rules will do the rest.

Oh yes, there is one more obstacle, I used to have a blue cloth big enough to cover my table. I wonder where the rest of it is?

  1. Your Cogs look fantastic Ross, bristling with fierce Dark Age warriors.

  3. Ross, are you sure that isn't the full cloth? Your table is one of the more notorious shape-shifters of miniature warfare. Possibly the cloth just isn't keeping up.

    1. Absolutely sure. The cloth was a .... hand-me-down ...from my wife's Kennel Club. It was about 6 ft wide by 20 or so feet long. The rest of it is somewhere....
