I've been trying out felt roads for use with Hexon. They seem to work well. link |

Where did you get the white blocks for the units, they look really nice. (so does the terrain and the roads work well) |

I have used felt roads with my Hexon II terrain as well, a d they seem to adhere to the flock very well indeed. |

I also use felt roads, they 'stick' very well to the hexon. |

Hi Dynaman.
at the bottom of the actical, on the blog, are some links. click the one that says blocks. then second one down show Mah Jongg blocks. |

Thanks! I should be able to find an old set or two around somewhere. |

I've used less than half the tablets in the set so far, but I'm always on the lookout for more in case I want to progress to Koenigsberg! The blocks are a handy size and have a nice chunky feel, better than original Kriegsspiel blocks IMO. The sizes may not comply with particular rule requirements, but for any hex/grid games they now allow me to fight more or less any 18th or 19th century battle. |

"progress to Koenigsberg" I suspect you mean Koeniggratz. I have done Koeniggratz with Rifle & Kepi, but I slightly cheated and used brigade bases rather than regimental ones. It is a very big battle but interesting. |

Whoops, quite right, and too late for me to send this error to the memory hole! |

I tried making railroad tracks on felt, by making a cardstock cutout of the ties, spraypainting them in brown on a strip of gray felt, and then spraying on silver rails using a separate cardstock cutout. They came out OK, but not great. I haven't played 6mm in so long they don't get any use. |

I just use the tracks from the Irregular 6mm train set. Unlike roads they don't usually need to go over hills. |

I've just posted a picture of my layout for Solferino with all the roads in place. link |

Using Hexon and the blocks does look and feel 'neat and tidy'. I wish I'd pursued this years ago. I could have explored all sorts of rules and got a lot more gaming done, rather than committing myself to endless painting and a growing lead mountain. |
