The Pendraken team always take loads, especially when its Pendraken figures.

We'll be at Salute too, so hope to see you there. And I'm highly impressed with the Nachod game. Was this your "fleece over polystyrene" terrain?

Superb looking table 

I'll be at Salute - helping out on the CWS stand - Ralph has an CWS polo shirt for me. I didn't make last years show due to illness, so I'm specially looking forward to this year.

Best regards

Hi Steve,

I am sure plenty of photos will be taken, but I think I will have my hands full running the game.  That said, it is probably for the best, I am a rubbish photographer! 

Andrew

Look forward to seeing you there, Kelvin.

No, this was a lovingly crafted one off - hence the search for a simpler system ... like fleece over poly !!

Thank you so much for sharing fantastic report and pictures.

Pre ordered Wargaming in History Volume 8, The Austro-Prussian War: the Opening Battles as well. Looks like a fantastic title and from what I can tell some very nice pictures!!!! Can't wait.

Thanks lekw, you may be our first reader!  I hope you enjoy it, there are certainly some great photos in it (I can say this, as I didn't take any of them!).

Best,

Mollinary

Stunning!  I have enough troops paint to do this battle, now I just need to do the terrain.  I hope it turns out as good as yours!

For Nachod at Salute we will be going up a level of detail from Cameronian's excellent terrain, which as Mollinary observes, deserved and got an honourable mention in the book. Our terrain is not purpose built, but rather consists of terrain tiles from Realistic Modelling Services. The downside of this is that there are more lines where terrain pieces join one another, the upside is that we are able to portray the different gradients, which are significant. We wanted to do the terrain by throwing a green tablecloth over some books in the time-honoured and much preferred way, but the hill/ridge is so big that no-one had enough books and DVD cases are too thin.
We use 12 bases to a battalion, which enables us to represent the formations so that a column looks significantly different to a reinforced firing line with 2 zug deployed, ie 2/3 of the unit deployed and 1/3 back as support.
We will set the board up so that the four key events, at four different points on the ground and at 4 different moments, are portrayed and the demo will take each one in turn and walk through it.
Hope t see youall there,
