What a spread!

Very nicely done. Clever use of blocks for the raised roads. I like all your buildings – are they home made?

Thanks Almost all the buildings are home made, generally adaptations of existing models, scaled to fit exactly on my terrain blocks. The only ones that are as bought are the factories by the side of the river and the cranes

Very nice. What rules are you using? Perhaps I missed it in your battle report. I have been working on a scenario book for skirmish actions in Dordrecht. You are focusing at a much higher level of command that I am. When I finish the scenarios, I will be releasing it under the Skirmish Campaigns banner. Maybe we can compare notes.

I'm using Command Decision rules. Perhaps we can compare notes – I'm translating E.H. Bronger's work OPMARS NAAR ROTTERDAM as a primary source.

Very nicely done – love those early war scenarios
