Nachod 1866

[tschuma]

ok, rivers and streams filled in, still need to put some bushes down and trees around the houses, but that can wait.  My questions is do I need a few more houses?  I think it looks great and I might add a few more.  2 weeks away and I feel better about the terrain and the troops.  just need to finish up the write up, create the labels and some cards we are trying out.  

The boards are 32" wide and 72 inch long.  What I like about this is I can transport in my SUV with no problem.  I need to make 4 more boards and I will have the battles of Nachod, Skalitz and Wiesenthal.  6 feet wide by 16 feet long.



Now for those who asked for shots with troops on the table

Prussians


Austrians

Coming along very nicely

Looking good!  Not sure on the buildings, maybe a couple more to thicken up some of the villages, but not too many?  It's gonna look cool when the troops get on there!

For what its worth, punch me if you want, I'd put a dulling wash on the buildings and I'd bin the teddy bear fur, its a really lovely board, the fur ... well, maybe not (why not singe it slightly with a hot air stripper and do a little bit of overspray?
like I said, feel free to punch me

Didn't want to mention it, but - the fur does need at least a dusting of dark earth (watch the specs!)

I meant Schweinschadel not Wiesenthal. Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions, that is why I posted to get some ideas. and you won't hurt my feelings either!   

I agree on the fur not sold on it yet.  it looks ok with the 10mm figures and better with 15's, but not the 6mm buildings.  I just did not want to paint the board and have a little flexibility.  We plan Fire and Fury Battlefront WWII where crop fields do count as sparse cover.   I will work on the fields last as they have no effect in the rules.  Maybe a piece of felt or thicker fleece might work. The felt can at least be painted/colored.

[tschuma]

ok, couple cuts and little spray and a felt field. 

[cameronian]

Much better now tidy the edges 
BTW I visited Schweinschadel last year, its a massive complex of barns and outbuildings, solidly built and capable of holding a battalion.

AAR posted in the Batrep section.  As far as the rules are concerned, they played out nicely, but we have been playing Fire and Fury for years.  Just a few minor things we need to rork on and I have a few questions to ask Bill.  Pulled the fields, just did not like how they turned out.  I think I might just paint them on the cloth.  I have time!  Now its on tot he next 2 boards

Thanks for all the input.
