About 6pm we started putting on the snow flock. We had 4 shaker bottles of snow. It wasn't enough. We realized this about 7pm, just as the 2 closest hobby stores were closing. I called Maplewood Hobbies cause I knew they stayed open late for gaming. They had one bottle. My wife volunteered to drive the 55 minutes to get it. She is awesome. Big thanks to Maplewood for getting us out of a tight spot. Not alot of pics. It's 2:21 and I am just taking a break from painting my Frostgrave table. We might tweak the table a little in the morning, but it is ready to go.

BANG!!! Amazing what can be accomplished when under the pressure of time particularly when there is a game afoot!!! Excellent job, and hope the game goes well for all involved!! Top profs to your wife! Post convention flowers & dinner would not be out of the question!! |

Very nice! Worth all the effort! |

What an appropriate game and table for cold wars. I guess you could have used flour as a substitute for the missing snow? Great job… |

Wow, you even got a fan to simulate the cold winds blowing across the battlefield! That's clearly over the top! |
| C M DODSON | 16 Mar 2017 7:21 a.m. PST |
Excellent. You can almost feel the cold. Chris |

Exceptionally well done! This is what gaming is all about, the spectacular look of it. I agree with vagamer63 dinner out for your wife. |

Just love what you have done. |

Saw this in person at the show. I thought it was the best looking game of Cold Wars. |
| 47Ronin | 20 Mar 2017 3:08 p.m. PST |
The Awards Committee agreed with you, rampantlion. The Eylau game won one of the two top awards (Best Theme Game and Best of Show) at Cold Wars. I forget which one, but it was well deserved. Congratulations to all those involved on a job well done. |
| historygamer | 20 Mar 2017 3:24 p.m. PST |
Congrats. Your game looked great. I hope the publish all the winning games and provide some photos too. Again, nice job and well deserving. |

Just viewed it. Very impressive. You just want to get your miniatures on the board and roll the dice. |
