Blogging live from Historicon, well at least until the dealer hall opens in 15 minutes. Here's the last of my "build" posts. Next post will be of the game. We didn't have time to put all the pieces together so I'm looking forward to see the whole thing laid out.
Off to the dealer area, Cheers, Xin |

A smart a&$ question, but didn't the battle take place in December? Table is beautiful, but doesn't look like a winter landscape. |

December 31st 1862. I talked about that in my blog. I used what I had in the basement instead of spending about a hundred more dollars than I already spent |

Well, I think the terrain might have been browner – "dead" grass effect – but I don't recall reading that there was snow on the ground during the battle, nor can I find images of the battle showing it with snow. I think the table as is works, especially since it allows it to be used for other actions. Knocking on 20 years ago when I did a similar size table for First Bull Run that was an important consideration. |

snapped some photos of games he didn't get a chance to play in at Council of Five Nations.
