I've been experimenting with getting custom battlemats printed. I got one done for the battle of Kapolna (1849) which cost me under £20.00 GBP including delivery. Used it in anger this week and I reckon it looks pretty good.

It's the future AND one can spill beer on it! I look forward to seeing it on Saturday Alan |

I am not sure I would ever go fully to them, but they can be very very useful for some things. For example class activities. |

That sure looks good. Keep us posted on the progress of this experiment. Unicum, eh? That's the spirit! |

That's the spirit indeed. In 1941 the Hungarian army was chronically short of motor transport so conscripted a load of civilian trucks which it had no time to paint. These included some from Zwack (makers of Unicum). So my 1/300 scale Hungarian WWII army includes a truck in Zwack livery. Chris |

Did you drink the Unicum before during, or after the engagement? Was this also the Unicum that your wife managed to convince me I'd never had before? |

As aperitif rather than digestif. Yes, it was the proper original fully leaded 1790 recipe, not the more recent version that has been sweetened for effete modern palates. Chris |
