Pictures From our Club's Open Day

[Rosbif]

Hi all,

Back again after a long break (real life, you know... )!

I put on a display game for our club's open day using nearly all my 1/72 Napoleonic collection recently. Here's some pictures from the day. I'll post a proper batrep on my blog in the next few days.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Where did you get your buildings? I'll be needing some soon and yours are the perfect scale.

My bigger buildings at the back of the picture are plaster made by a German manufacturer who I think has gone out of business (can't remember their name, sorry). Plaster's not a great material for wargaming as it chips very easily; I've had to make a lot of running repairs! The buildings being assaulted in the picture are resin model and were bought from a mate's wargaming business, Wargame Miniatures. You're in the US, IIRC, so you might want to find something a little closer to lessen the shipping costs. The manufacturer is JR Miniatures, who are located in California, I think. You might find a store closer to you which stocks them.

We use 15mm scale buildings to represent a built up area, rather than individual houses. Basically a town block with all the fences, gardens, sheds, outhouses, barns etc. you'd expect to find in a cluster of buildings. It's more the model's footprint, than the model itself, which is the important factor.

Finally got around to posting a batrep!
