This is a four player scenario from Academy Games's Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear. It's set in October, 1941 on the Eastern Front of World War Two.

I created terrain and miniatures to represent the board game scenario. This was set up at Southern Front, an annual wargaming convention in Raleigh, North Carolina. The players only made it to the second turn before we stopped playing, but I will be setting the game up in my basement in order to play again.

Wow, I'm jealous.

Impressive and a good idea to keep the game counter with the unit for reference.

I have hexes, but much less room than that, so have been considering about doing a 1 board scenario, but trimmed down a bit to put it in the region of a 12 x 9 grid.

Lol how many hexes ? Nice looking game.

Thanks guys. There are 636 hexes total, if my math checks out. If I recall, that's four boxes of the Kallistra tiles, plus a couple of DIY tiles and a bunch of DIY single hexes.

Keeping the game counters with the units works, but I think it's a little fiddly. I wish I had the stats on the bottom of the miniature bases, for easy reference, but them I'm locked into using the minis for a particular game system. My friend suggested using magnetic sheets on the bottom of the minis, and then sticking temporary stat squares to the magnets.

To do one of the CoH mapboards, you'd need 30 of the Kallistra tiles (the ones with six hexes), and 26 single hexes to fill out. With that setup, you'd have one extra row of hexes hanging off the end of the board. Alternatively, you could just get 36 of the six-hex tiles. In that case, you'd have extra hexes on two sides of your board.
