That was a great watch. I too have my 10mm SYW armies on square bases, nicely bunched together, 4 bases to a unit. The Geek Villain mat is an inspiration as well, so I've just ordered one. Like you I am a sucker for the same army in different scales, although not SYW. I really don't think I can better the look of these armies in 10mm, and given the rules I use for this period I can't justify another scale. The Franco-Prussian War however.........

Still don't get this insert business. Am I supposed to shorten the coded lettery numbery thingy when it is still in that tiny box or do I do it after insert (which makes most sense to me as I can see the lettery numbery thingy in full). Anyway that's how I do it at the moment, after insert, but it doesn't then turn into a picture. Again, different from other forum picture posting. Perhaps I should just stick to the Honours of War or Peter Pig forums where things seem more straightforward. Baccus photo posting is also a nightmare I can't cope with.

I'm still not getting this am I? I assume I'm supposed to do something once the enormous chemical formula has gone into the little box where you can only see the end of it. I did not mess with it, just clicked on insert and this came up. You can probably already guess that since forever science, maths and technology just baffles me. Can't see that changing any time soon as I am now almost 71.

These look great, a period I hope to get into very soon. Unlike you I have no problem sticking to the one scale for the most part, whereas sticking to just a couple of periods is an impossible task!

I think what is happening here is it's using the link to the page in flickr that the image is displayed on, not the image itself. However, looking at that page there is a share icon on it (the arrow swooping to the right in the bottom right of the image). If you click that and go to the BBcode tab and paste the contents of that in it seems to work. Alternatively if you have the direct link to the image (usually ending in .jpg or .png or similar) then you can paste that into the insert image box here (the URL field in the popup when you click the Insert an Image button between the YouTube and Link icons above here)

Very nice.  My collection are infantry on 20x20 bases, four figures, five bases to a standard regiment.  Cavalry are 25x25 bases.  I am also doing sabot bases, flocked with regimental name labels.

Very nicely done.  I like the town; I too like the TBM range and it was instructive to see a town base in a battlefield setting, rather than in isolation as shown on TBM's own website.

Well, I did get that mat from Geek Villain. Here is part of my Prussian army (mix of Pendraken and Old Glory) with some 6mm buildings for reduced footprint. I was using a 5x3 (playing area).
