Nachod 1866 part 1

[holdfast]

For Nachod at Salute we will be going up a level of detail from Cameronian's excellent terrain, which as Mollinary observes, deserved and got an honourable mention in the book. Our terrain is not purpose built, but rather consists of terrain tiles from Realistic Modelling Services. The downside of this is that there are more lines where terrain pieces join one another, the upside is that we are able to portray the different gradients, which are significant. We wanted to do the terrain by throwing a green tablecloth over some books in the time-honoured and much preferred way, but the hill/ridge is so big that no-one had enough books and DVD cases are too thin.
We use 12 bases to a battalion, which enables us to represent the formations so that a column looks significantly different to a reinforced firing line with 2 zug deployed, ie 2/3 of the unit deployed and 1/3 back as support.
We will set the board up so that the four key events, at four different points on the ground and at 4 different moments, are portrayed and the demo will take each one in turn and walk through it.
Hope t see youall there,
