This is my second 10mm game since moving to the Netherlands. It's taken a while getting the flat into shape (and is still a work in progress) and I had to get my head round posting photos again, not an area I am very proficient in. This is part of a SYW campaign being fought between Austria and Prussia using the Honours of War (Osprey) rules and a mix of Pendraken and Old glory figures with a few Irregular figures thrown in for good measure. I am using a Deep Cut mat with a six inch (15cm) grid. This is useful for laying out the battlefield as HOW has been written with 28mm figures in mind and scenarios generally on a 6'x4' playing area. However the rules come with tables at the back for using smaller figures (downloadable on the HOW website as playsheets) so I opted for the same frontage as 15mm figures which means most scenarios can be fought on a 3'x2' playing area, yet still look like a full battle.

The Maurice Action Cards are being used as fate cards to give a little bit more unpredictability to the game. The Maurice notable cards were also used to determine the C-in-Cs and brigade commanders to help build a narrative.
Very nice Andy and great to see you are able to get back into gaming again :).
Very nice
What they said. :-bd
Cheers - Phil. :)

Looks good! =D> =D>
Nice one
I have now managed to track down the actual fate cards used in the simple SYW campaign I am using. Anyone interested should see Happywanderers contributions on the Honours of War website in both the Scenario and Battle Report sections.
Looking good.
its always a good feeling after moving setting up your table.

Nice one Leman
Nice! We definitely need some more 10mm players in the Netherlands!

Arrange us jobs in Amsterdam....
Nah, get up here to Groningen. More countryside and fewer crowds, plus a fantastic city and lots to see for those interested in late WWII.
I keep misreading as Neanderthals...
You should see the bloke in the flat upstairs! ;D

As long as you stay in the city it's okay (or the Bourtange fortress, that's nice too!) but I once drove east from Groningen city to Germany. It was a rainy day in the fall... my god what a depressing countryside. It's a good thing there are hardly any trees; the urge to hang yourself must be immense if you live there... ;)

Funnily enough I find it quite beautiful, unlike the Rockies where you can't see a thing for all the bloody mountains getting in the way. The landscape also keeps away those of an over excitable nature. ;)

;D ;D ;D That certainly worked over the last few centuries if you look at the people (and I do know some people there that would dare refer to as friends...)!
