"Festoons & Scenic Items for Flintloque Released" Topic

I have never heard 'festoon' used in this way before.
I thought it meant :

fes·toon
feˈsto͞on/
noun
a chain or garland of flowers, leaves, or ribbons, hung in a curve as a decoration.
synonyms: garland, chain, lei, swathe, swag, loop
"festoons of paper flowers"

Perhaps you mean 'Gabions"?

Definition of gabion. : a basket or cage filled with earth or rocks and used especially in building a support or abutment.

More likely I'm just wrong.

Or Festung?

According to the Oxford Dictionary the meaning is as per the OP, but… I'm warming to this use in the particular context of tabletop wargames.

Why shouldn't we have a more poetic and precise term to describe those miscellaneous scenic odds and ends that set the historical scene for our games; another addition to our vocabulary of specialist jargon?

Thanks chaps. Gabion is the accepted term and you are correct. However as you would all recognise it as such being well versed wargamers, I decided to make use of another term as it is from fantasy Flintloque.

I own an original copy of Drinkwater's 'Siege of Gibraltar' and in it the term Festoon is used for siege Gabions. A more poetic effect from a less literal time.

Well, cool, now I can festoon my games with festoons. I like it. Except wrong scale but others make gabions in 15 mm, pardon, festoons in 15 mm.

Excellent explanation, and perfect impulse !!

My pleasure. I did catch some flack on less civilised forums for the word but here; acceptance and meaning. Enjoy your gaming.
