Don't know why but I guess we see TFL as skirmish games due to SP,TSS and TMB.<br />@Christopher-No, Don't think there is a need for order markers on the table. We had written them down. Further Rob the organizer also made little cards for everybody with Brigade and battalion details. That was really helpful. We have another little table in the room where we can put these cards and markers when needed.MiniMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818743972462962721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063766931583960817.post-41334132796067248882011-06-06T15:07:25.064+02:002011-06-06T15:07:25.064+02:00I forgot to ask did you take off the order markers...I forgot to ask did you take off the order markers for the pictures?<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063766931583960817.post-36979379463832956562011-06-06T12:34:31.239+02:002011-06-06T12:34:31.239+02:00Great looking game!

Simulation tabletop wargaming at it's best.<br />I currently use "British Grenadier" which is the GdB rule set for AWI and will be using GdB for ACW called "Guns at Gettysburg". Eventually, I also plan on using their Nap rules as well when I finally start the period.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063766931583960817.post-58251553080687953542011-06-05T18:43:29.252+02:002011-06-05T18:43:29.252+02:00Great painting, scenery and report.

I was surprised to see the game table uses a mat or cloth & then sprinkled with flock. It looked like terrain boards in the first picture (side angle). Very impressive. BTW, I am impressed with your translation as well.

I'm completely with you regarding choosing rule sets - try a few out and then choose a set for a specific scale of action. The initial investment of a club in the time taken to get to know a good set of rules is really well worth it. Can't wait for your next battle!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063766931583960817.post-46464375434919800142011-06-05T16:10:29.386+02:002011-06-05T16:10:29.386+02:00A great looking table, Mike...just excellentA great looking table, Mike...just excellentCaptain Richard's miniature Civil Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149386738466118837noreply@blogger.com
