A few years ago my friends Paul, Scott and I ran Charleston Harbor all weekend at HMGS South Hurricon. I took many pics that weekend, but this one was very easily made to look less like a game and more like a photo. It represents April 7, 1863. Our game turned out quite differently from historical events, but the same OBs were involved. In any case, here is a shot f the game underway made to look a bit more realistic with photo editing.

Bill;
You are still the Martha Stewart of all things terrain. We miss you, pal. Eric |

Nice, but you should do it as a sepia tone print to look like real tintype picture. I tried it with your image and it looks like it could have been taken in 1863. Jim |

You will need to scroll through some other games, but there are photos in these Flickr albums: link link |

Very nice. Looks like the New Ironsides got wracked a bit. |

Per your request here are shots from both the convention and the game I ran at my home.
I think that will do for now. : )

WOW! I asked for a few shots, and I got a bombardment. Thanks!  This is the kind of game that makes new miniatures gamers. Nice terrain and toys have a strong draw. You even made a ruined version of Sumter to swap in!
Given the historical results of the real battle, that seems rather optimistic, but apparently warranted.  - Ix |

Great looking terrain. Who makes the buildings? |

They are a combination of Peter Pig and Bay Area Yards. I am not sure BAY is still in business. |
