Title: FPW First game in the Netherlands
Post by: Leman on 13 February 2021, 10:26:23 AM
Having got to grips with Faceache again I have posted a few pictures of my first game since moving here. It is a Franco-Prussian 10mm game using the Walter Schnaffs FPW variant for the Peter Pig Square Bashing rules. I find that 10mm figures work really well with these rules as you can either put more figures on a 30mm base, as recommended in the rules, or use a 25mm base frontage and avoid units spilling out of a busy square.

The pictures seem to be coming out huge and are better viewed if the screen is shrunk. Not sure how to make the pictures post to fit the screen. Anyway table is approximately 180cm x 90cm and takes a 4x3 Square Bashing game very comfortably with space for keeping game tokens and playsheets off the game area.

Need to add a width to the IMG like this:


[img width=900]https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/149422551_170542741504736_5476212465596193768_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=3&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=8F72e3b8yVUAX8HFU9X&_nc_ht=scontent-amt2-1.xx&oh=a924c5974fc247f56229866934d162a1&oe=604D89F5[/img]


Looks like a great game!

Tried this one of the very start of the game.

Very nice.

I'd often use 800 for if it was just a pic of some figures, but big pictures like this you'd want to zoom into going a bit bigger is good. I'm mostly viewing on a phone so small screen but I get the sense most use tablets or computers so have a bit more screen space.

Looking good!
It's a pity you live almost on the opposite end of the country from where I live (about 30km South of Nijmegen).

Cheers,
