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

There are even some pretty Pendraken minis towards the end of the clip :)


EDIT: Vid embedded.
I'm about to embark on the fool's mission of setting up Battle of the Auroch Hills with 10mm figures as well as building a scale model of the battleground. Maybe next year.

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.

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with. Sharing is fun and a good way to remember what one did last time around :)

It'll be a while yet - we have until February next year to sort the whole thing out.

good video, good ideas !
How do you stock these boards ? ( and how do you move them to another place ?  :-  )
