Howdy all! Just so folks know, I started a new 10mm Napoleonic game, The Battle of Aroldo Valley, and have blogged the first few turns. I am playing it against myself as a test of rules. As playing by oneself is not as much fun, if anyone wants to suggest strategy for either side please do! Please come by, take a look, and share your thoughts! link |

Really good looking table, both figures and terrain. |

A very interesting senario. Not only are the visuals excellent, but the descriptions of the battle are outstanding. It truly makes me wish I was one of the members of the battle. Thank you for sharing |

Superb looking set up, figures and descriptions. I had been toying with the idea of getting some 10mm figures for my next project and thats made it absolutely certain now that I see how good they can look. Can I ask – are they based up on 40mm by 20mm bases? |

Hey all! The bases are 2 inch by 1 inch from Litko. As for being a member of the battle hey, give me a strategy for one side or the other and I'll implement it! Would be like actually playing against someone…:) I do try to make it read somewhat interesting… however, I am also afraid that makes some folks tune out. I hope the photos are enough to keep people interested! Anyway… I'll have more probably today… dying to play toy soldiers!:) Thanks for the compliments! |

Can you explain what you've used for terrain? I like the rolling hills. |

I think I can see teddy-bear fur there amongst other materials? Great looking game L-Ash |

Hey all, Bede, if you click on the label "table" and go to the oldest few entries you can see some "in progress" shots of how it was built. Basically it is a flat foam board which I then put hills on top of. Over all of this goes the green felt, which is held in place by the frame around the outside of the table and by pin trees. I still kept this table a bit flat, but there are some ridges in the center. I find it does make it look interesting! |
