The furry thing was a present from my sister years ago. Can't say anymore in case Rabbit Dave is reading. <br /><br />The certificate is one of my few solo Pour Encourager Les Autres awards from Cold Wars (most are games co-hosted with Rob Dean). That one was for a 54mm Prince Valiant game. I planned for 8 players, but with a 9am Saturday start time, I was wondering how few I needed to play. Ended up with 16 players due to the first 8 volunteering to share their commands with friends or strangers. It was a fun game with lots of competing interests, secret deals and a little fighting to boot. I'm afraid the Prince ended up being held for ransom.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-65968668779226834362011-09-12T21:24:01.521-03:002011-09-12T21:24:01.521-03:00Dave I probably shouldn't admit this publicly ...Dave I probably shouldn't admit this publicly but its not about organization, its about Illusion.

They'll appear when I need a large town if nothing else. I'm hoping that any new buildings will fit well enough to allow mixing and matching.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-33986367080442789212011-09-12T19:18:42.764-03:002011-09-12T19:18:42.764-03:00Ross,

I probably have twice the room size, with a 5x6 ft table, probably no more toys (figures, books, etc) yet no organization. I can never find anything, and the battlefield is always covered so I'm always putting of playing a game :(Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701609658203478532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-75689461614442512202011-09-12T09:02:09.690-03:002011-09-12T09:02:09.690-03:00The games room is looking pretty good.The games room is looking pretty good.Lentulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748125314815303831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-33457490831819222852011-09-12T04:27:58.937-03:002011-09-12T04:27:58.937-03:00There is much to be said for smaller buildings.

Would the cavalry units be half that size, i.e. 12-strong?<br /><br />I look forward to reading the reports.Dave Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802658074541279366noreply@blogger.com
