Great stuff. I like the washer women. |

Very organised – neat and clean lines. I like it. I especially like the post in the table with the trees painted on it. Don't know why particularly, but it made me smile Regards J |

If the post with the trees painted on made you smile then it did exactly as was planned. The only practical way to put the table in the garage was to build around the support pole, so I figured if I can't go around it, why not embrace it. My daughter did the brushwork for me! |

The washerwoman are great, but all that livestock wandering around with two armies in the vicinity; there'd be in the pot before you could say "knife". |

I think that was the real reason Wellington strolled by BillyNM. He was scouting for the commissary and picking the prize cow for his own table. And of course making sure the Portuguese farmers were appropriately compensated. |

That is impressive. Old school done all the way with consistent painting, basing and terrain.
Looked like a fun game. |

Bandolier – sometimes I think we have not really improved on the old school way of doing things. In the right company the game is just so much fun and keeps us from taking it too seriously. As for the look of the game, it's either go big or go home so I dove into the deep end and tried to recreate the look I had seen in the wargames guides of the 70s. |
