Building the board for Bull Run. A short movie about how we built the terrain board for the first battle of Bull Run/Manassas.

Hmm, we're in the process of planning next year's convention game and that sort of terrain looks good in any period. Great work, Tobbe, and thanks for sharing. :-bd

We cut the MDF boards at 40cm by 50cm so they fit in a standard Swedish moving box:

Each board is wrapped in bubble wrap and 'stands' on the long edge of the box.
