Trying to see if I can upload a picture.



This is a Sedan game we are in the middle of.  To be finished October 12.

OK, it didn't work.  Copying from Flickr and posting between the brackets for the picture icon.  It didn'
t seem to lose the 3 bracket, so what happened?

This is how I post from Flickr to the forum (there may be easier ways).

Open the image in Flickr and select "share photo"  (the little arrow icon at bottom right)
Select BBCode, then chose the size you want the image to be.
Click on the code in the box, then copy and paste it into your text.
I then tidy it up by removing the "imagenamebyrblahonflickr" before posting.

Have another go and see how you get on.

Thank you Sunjester.  It came through, but I still have a bit of cleaning up to do.

Anyway it is showing the French exiting through sedan to the west.  More narrative and pictures (now that I know how) later.

Looks like quite the battle! Looking forward to seeing more

That is a cracking model as centre-piece.

I agree, who makes that?

The layout of Sedan was commissioned by my friend. Also the battlements which were separate. The houses are Pico I believe. He had it done at 150 yards to the inch, which is the scale for the game (Sappy Nappy, my FPW adaptation of Snappy Nappy).

Trying to add another picture but I guess I can't from an iPad. I will later.

lovely job, I can see players really getting drawn in to that focal point and a superb amount of nuanced action going on.

What a beautiful 'chamberpot'!*

Sedan makes for a surprisingly good game (as one-sided doomed massacres go). What have you set as the victory conditions? Please do let us know how your game goes.
