WOW! An excellent battle report. Reads very much like a "War College" paper. The photos greatly enhanced the visual aspect of report. And terrain is also excellent. I am curious as to how long it took to build terrain? I look forward to your "Quatre Bras Report". Great Job!

Nicely done reports, I thought the terrain and figures looked great. Greatly enjoyed the piece.

Hi isttexas There are 9 boards for Ligny Total area 10 feet by 24 feet. The boards are 8' by 2' and 8' by 4' for the centre board. The outside boards are on wheels so they can be moved in and out as needed. With the help of the guys from the club with a number of working bees we spent 4 months making the boards. About 300 trees were used in the boards.
