I have written a blog entry about a re-fight of the Battle of Leipzig that took place yesterday. It featured over 2,000 54mm-scale figures. link

Very nice. Do NOT let the gardener anywhere near that site with a lawnmower. Do NOT let the family dog out to play in the yard! |

Gosh, how are your knees and back after moving all those figures on the ground? Mine would be telling me to get another hobby in no uncertain terms. |

Paul B, I acted as photographer for the event as my arthritis and bad knees mean that I could have got down all right … but not got up afterwards. |

What rule set? Home grown? Pun intended. |

The rules were a variant of FUNNY LITTLE WARS by Paul Wright, which are themselves a development of H G Wells' LITTLE WARS. |

I have always thought this could be done, bigger figures is better at it than my 15mm guys. |

See what you've done. Now your going to have to go back and paint all those bases grass green. Maybe throw some some autumn leaf yellow. |

So lovely to see big Naps games in the garden. One day… The biggest issue I have found is sourcing the bl**dy figures – getting to be like hens' teeth. Oh well, as I say, one day… Marc |

Great game and looks like a lot of fun! But at my age, with my knees….probably have to use a crane to get up and down!LOL |

This really looked cool and had to be a real blast to play. Bob the Temple Builder
I acted as photographer.. as my arthritis and bad knees mean that I could have got down all right … but not got up afterwards. I sincerely feel your pain. I found it helps to keep my old 'Boy Scout' hiking staff handy when out in the yard, since I past 50. Im curious, who or how did you deal with moving the troops? |
experiments with using recessed bases for figures with cast-on bases.
