At Last!

The various rearrangements and reductions in "Stuff", etc. are coming along. In this case, though the table repaint, shelf rearrangements, preparations to reduce 'stuff' in general and so on, are not complete, I'm ready for a test game of the roughly marked squares.   

Since I was committed to an ACW game, that's where I've started. 

Not a reenactment of an historical action, just a fictional game based on one of the requests and
a scenario in the original Fire & Fury rules from the 1990's. The picture looks a little odd (I blame my phone's mucking) but its actually 5' wide (left and right) and 4'deep (from camera to wall). On all sides there is a little shelf to put off table reinforcements.

Each map square represents 9x4" squares on the tabletop.
( 180 grid squares if my computer is right. Oddly enough, each square is the width of those 3 stand units I rebased before I started thinking about grids again.) 

,If all goes well, I'll start rolling the dice Saturday morning.

    1. Lots of paint work to do yet, and hills to be trimmed to fit as well as 2 side walls for picture background and protection against troops falling off the table when the cat comes to inspect!

  4. I like the look of this! Your use of irregular splodging of fields and random bushes really helps to break up the ‘being played on a grid’ look. Most impressed.👍🏼

    1. Thanks! I've got a lot of work with brush and paint but it's coming along and the sample/test game today went well.
