PDF link The Dulles Wargaming Club playe-tested a scenario from Britton Publishers' latest title, Fulda Gap. The book is undergoing rigorous play-testing and should be ready for release soon. |

Looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing. Who makes the buildings and roads? They really enhance the look of the game table. |

It's a mix of Timecast and Total Battle. I think some of the roads were from The Terrain Guy, as was the mat. But I made the main road that runs diagonally across the board. I bought the wood from AC Moore and painted it with an acrylic brown. Then I used a hot glue gun to mount the hedges. :) |

"Lariat Advance". I remember hearing that call and the pounding on our billet doors to wake us up so many times during my time in Germany when I was serving. Usually happened in the middle of the night, we scrambled to put on our uniforms, head downstairs to the armory to sign out and sling personal and vehicle weapons on our shoulders, sign out the keys to the tanks (not to start them, but unlock the loader's hatch for access), then slog up to the motor pool to prep and then wait on the tanks for word to roll or not. "Lariat Advance!"… |

Thanks for the info, Ben. Yea, I thought perhaps Timecast. Haven't seen Total Battle's stuff, so will need to check those out, and the roads. Nice work on the custom built road and hedges. |
