"progress on 1879 Battle of Charasiab terrain" Topic

Just posted an update about my ongoing work completing my terrain lay-out for the 1879 Second Afghan War Battle of Charasiab, dealing with village buildings and reeds for the Kabul and Logar Rivers as well as the Khairabad Swamp.

If interested please check it out here:

…and early on this Memorial Day, my humble and sincere thanks to all the members of our Armed Forces and those of our allies, past and present.

Whoops -- was rushing to post before the daily/nightly shutdown and forgot to include any visuals of the villages…

…or the reeds for the rivers and swamp…

please note, that damn place appears not to have changed a bit, looks exactly the same as when I was there

Thanks for the comment, Clays Russians. I've heard the same thing before. An English gaming friend of mine visited the Charasiab area, South of the mountains below Kabul, a while back and he says the area is virtually unchanged from the descriptions written by British officers who were there for the 1879 battle. Needless to say this was a big advantage for me, as I've been able to use Google Earth to research the entire 4 mile wide by two mile deep battlefield.

Very nice!
