"No Normandy Wargames table seems complete without bocage hedges, even if much of the fighting by British and Canadian forces wasn't in the bocage. Many years ago I bought a roll of rubberised horsehair, about 2" thick, which I cut up and attached 'leaves' to.

So nice to see bocage in miniature that actually looks like the bocage – thank you Armand, and Small Italian Wars you are a true artist! |
