Sumerian Chariots in 6mm

Remember back in 2005, when I promised pictures of those Sumerian chariot stands in 6mm?

A few photographs of the battle of Narbo (Narbonne) 49BC, part of an ongoing campaign refighting Caesar Vs Pompey using the brilliant To the Strongest rules.

Great campaign and battles.

No need for sorry Khusrau, each to their own.
As stated in the series of posts on this campaign the hexes used are functional rather that asthetically pleasing, sometime (the dreaded sometime!) I do intend to tone down the white hex lines a little and many of the battle matts that are available have the lines drawn in much more subtley thn my crude home made attempt.
The point is the running through of a campaign giving reason and purpose to each battle rather than set it up, fight it and go home.
Have you tried To the Strongest rules yet? Really, give em a go, you may just like them.

Quite interesting.

My question is: Where did you get those trees? If you can, please provide a link, I think those are perfect for the scale.

I like the layout. Simple and easy to understand.

Justin, I bought them off UK EBay about a year ago, just looked and can't see them but I could do with some more as well so I would keep an eye out if I were you.
Thanks for looking though,
Dave.
