That's incredible good. A huge wargame table which I guess is the dream of all of the fans of that Era.
Had you seen a biggest wargaming table of ACW?

How do you reach the middle of the table?

Moving panels?

Nice. Great presentation and like the blocks for "unknown" unit(s) I assume. Similar to our group's usage on appearance except ours "blend" into the tabletop scene. Again, great looking tabletop.

Looks like the big table is a series of long ones pushed together:

Note the "poles" on each stand, presumably for ease of handling.

Superb, tables on castors. The only thing that is a bit weak is the railroad track. It looks far too clunky.

Tin Soldiers of Antwerp, one of Belgium's finest clubs. Hope to see you lads soon.

I've played on a table that was probably at least four times that size.

I don't know--size isn't everything >;D The terrain is funtional and decent but, all in all, nothing spectacular. Kudos for ambition though!

And, of course, somebody has to have his elbows on the foam terrain. He probably leans on his knuckles too.

Hi, i was there.. I am the fussy one with the steston.

Every hour was a fotobreak for moving the tables togther. In the time when we played were 3 gaps in the battlefield were the players could move.


Tin soldiers of antwerp is in my humble opinion one of the best clubs.

It looks like 54mm. Only way to play for those off us who are losing our sight and our grip. Nice, functional board! Great!.

Margard: Stimmt, aber es macht nicht aus. Wir sind alle Freunde hier. :o) Aber ich bin kein Deutscher! Ich bin Englaender!

Ik bezocht Crisis een paar jaar geleden en kwam bij jullie Club HQ in het avond. Ik heb een geweldige tijd gehabt en jullie zijn echt een zeer gastvrije groep. (En met heel lekker bier ook! Proost!!)

I'm with Axabrax and Pictors Studio – played on similar if not bigger tables and, while nicely done and functional (which really matters), it's not in the stand out class. But what matters is that the players enjoyed and that seems to be the case. So, good job.

Yes, we are my friend and sane envy for the good beer!. (smile).
