At  last, on my 65th birthday  , I get to play the entire battle of Froeschwiller at home, but with my opponent's 10mm figures. I have played segments of this battle over the last 25 years, but now I can manage the whole thing thanks to BBB. consequently I have been putting the table together, but unfortunately realised too late that some of my town and village bases were unpainted, and that I didn't have enough trees. Then as luck would have it I found a box of 100 Heki fir trees, plus bases, that i must have bought almost 20 years ago. Found I still didn't have enough tree bases, so made two temporary ones out of cardboard. The battlefield will stay up while I prepare my 6mm Bavarians, then it will be refought with one of my other opponents. With opponent A I play French; with opponent B I play Prussian.

A: Looking good!

B: Happy Birthday!!

Thanks a lot - they will be Wendy houses on this occasion.

Happy Birthday and a great way to celebrate. BBB is superb in allowing you to play these large battles at home and in a reasonable amount of time. No need for a club all-dayer and most of the room for the game .

Looks amazing old bean!
Hippy beer date owed fiend!

For a battle of this scope I like going down a scale (or two) to represent the towns. Nice backdrop! The overall effect is very good!
What do you use under your battle cloth/fur to produce the contours, It works rather well?

Happy Birthday - you're just a young'n yet - enjoy your day!

Looks good - and I'm sure it will look even better with hordes of troops marching across it!

Happy Birthday!

Many Happy Returns!  Very nice layout. Have a great day! 

Happy birthday!

Take loads of photos while you play, and do a nice AAR too.

A very happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday and good luck for the battle!
