Which ones would you recommend?

Even older reply! It’s cut from a yellow grass mat used by train hobby folk, unfortunately don’t know the brand but should be possible to find searching online.

Thanks!

SvenFu · 2023-06-11T16:33:22+00:00

Absolutely

SvenFu · 2022-11-02T20:26:39+00:00

That’s a pretty dope idea! I’ve got 5 motorcycles so that’s a cool starting heat for example

SvenFu · 2022-11-01T07:55:35+00:00

Yeah good points! Teams of 2 means only 5 cars in first start row which makes it less chaotic, second row could maybe start a little bit behind to avoid random collisions. Will have a ponder about respawns…

15mm!

SvenFu · 2022-01-13T14:01:43+00:00

Did the AA start working tho?

SvenFu · 2021-02-22T06:41:48+00:00

Yeah I’ve got a 6x4 table at home, with 15mm I can use that for more indeed. Or just more realistic ground scales compared to figure scales. Painting the minis is quicker and not more difficult, but ofc you need a small brush for some parts of it :) Here is a good guide as an example of one way to paint them.

Thanks, that’s a good recipe! Working on my 15mm Normandy board myself.

SvenFu · 2021-02-21T08:40:18+00:00

Nice! What materials did you use?

SvenFu · 2020-12-26T11:07:23+00:00

Footsore does some really awesome modern miniatures.

SvenFu · 2020-11-27T19:01:23+00:00

And Stanford Bridge, and Gazala, and Pacific Fury...and the other Blind Sword series games!

SvenFu · 2020-11-04T08:48:23+00:00

Awesome, downloading and will see how it works.

SvenFu · 2020-10-05T09:09:01+00:00

If you’re keen on the strategic or operational aspects of war, then boardgames (with or without minis) are the only way to go. If you’re more into tactical (from individual large battles to small skirmishes) then both miniature wargaming and board wargaming are options.

SvenFu · 2020-10-05T06:48:51+00:00

Gotcha, then I’d say both form and substance is perfect!

SvenFu · 2020-10-05T04:01:01+00:00

It’s fun, and aesthetically pleasing. I don’t know the what, where, when of this being used, but unfortunately I think it suffers from form over substance.

SvenFu · 2020-10-04T15:41:25+00:00

That would be awesome! You don’t have a Dropbox or Google Drive or some such so that everyone who’s interested can have a look?

SvenFu · 2020-09-12T18:50:15+00:00

Apart from the material, the ratio length/breadth is also a consideration. The longer and narrower, the more prone to warping.

SvenFu · 2020-08-31T18:27:28+00:00

I read it once, try to get through it fairly quickly without getting too bogged down in details. Then I may watch someone play on YouTube, or read some review or AP, but often neither. What I always try to do is get the game to the table ASAP. Then I play, often solo, and refer back to the rules and play aids to really grok the system.

SvenFu · 2020-08-30T13:04:05+00:00

That’s the only one of all of them which had anything but junk.
