"Progress on 1879 Kabul River & Khairabad Swamp" Topic

Put up a blog post on recent progress I made on my Kabul River and Khairabad Swamp terrain boards, both part of the terrain layout for my long-gestating Second Afghan War Battle of Charasiab game.

Here's a couple of sample pics…

Outstanding as always. Would love to see it in action When are you going to start a Sudan River Wars game? I have been building a large British and Egyptian Army. Dennis

Very nice. I never have much luck putting my reeds down like you have done :P

I'm with Kealios on this one, the reeds look great. My feeble attempts look like some one recently landed a helicopter in the marsh.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

bigdennis, thanks for the compliment, however, though I hate to say it, I think my river boards are too narrow to be very useful for the Sudan, unless you are playing in 6mm or similar, with really tiny gunboats! I can fit a 28mm canoe or similar but anything larger than that will get stuck between the 6" wide riverbanks!

Kealios and John the Greater: sorry to hear that! For me the hard part with the reeds on the swamp board was just that there are SO MANY OF THEM! Gluding down one bunch of them so they stand up nice and straight should not be too difficult, so long as you use hot-glue which dries very fast.
