Fellow Gamers:
Just put up a post jampacked with a variety of content -- but this is where CROSSPOSTING comes in handyl…
There's a TERRAIN TUTORIAL for how I built a 1' wide river and 6" wide canal, both 7-1/2' long…
There's also a WWII AAR for a game featuring the 101st Airborne assault on the Wilhelmina Canal and XXX Corps' simultaneous drive on the city of Eindhoven to link-up with the Screaming Eagles -- "Part One" of Operation Market Garden.
The game was a play-test for an UPCOMING CONVENTION GAME set for Saturday September 30th, 2017 at California State University, Fullerton.
We also set up a second table's worth of terrain to work any kinks out in advance for "Part Two": the 82nd Airborne's assault on Nijmegen and the bridges over the Waal River, which will be included in the same convention game.
The Eindhoven game was a big success and I'm confident the big convention game will be an even bigger one!
If you plan to be in the Greater Los Angeles or Orange County areas on the weekend of September 29th to October 1st, and have any interest in miniature wargaming in general or Operation Market Garden in particular -- or plastic modelling, as the International Plastic Modellers Society will be hostiing their annual "ORANGE CON" at the same venue that same weekend -- I highly recommend you attend MINIWARS 2017 in the TITAN STUDENT UNION building at CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON.
