Looks like someone typed into the "quotes" handles. Either deliberate, or VERY SILLY.

I'm sure I only previewed the post and then posted it as normal. it could be me but others have said that the preview function was playing up. Could that have something to do with it?

Not a clue, Sub....Sorry.
Cheers - Phil......I'm having to go to the home page to check what I've just burbled, and modify it quickly if something looks wrong.

Ooo, I have only just now been able to look at the FPW game on Belisarius's blog - absolutely gorgeous!

Isn't it just! Have you seen Weewars' reduced footprint 10mm MDF building set?

What's going on with these quote boxes ?
How strange.

All fixed now, the [/ quote] code was missing from Sub's post, which also threw out mollinary's post as well.

I have started to make the terrain for BBB Spicheren. This has coincided with a delivery of new chairs to the club, so I made off with all the good sturdy boxes. My method is to make card terrain levels and then lay a cloth over; a time honoured method. I started by cutting open a box and then, using the scenario map grid squares as a guide, drawing out the contours on the card.



I then cut these out. The whole of the western side is steep sloped so I traced what I had cut out onto another layer of cardboard and cut that too. One contour made up of two layers will denote a steep slope. I then cut out all the gentler sloped contours and laid them out. The green circle is a village base. I put this one out (Schoneck) to gauge the size.



Once everything is set up I will be able to judge how successful it has been.

Fantastic!
Having walked it, some of those slopes are REALLY steep!

[Westmarcher]

Well done, you, Leman! Hope it turns out to be a success.

When dismantling a cardboard box earlier today, took a few minutes looking at the dismantled sides ..    ... then decided, "Naw. Too much to do. Another day ... " 
And binned it.

Well done Leman, good to see the wargaming tradition of reuse being maintained
