The more I see of your 3mm, the less inspired I am by going with 2mm! The larger bases work better as well, I missed a trick using 20mm, should have gone 30mm for better "mini-diorama" feel.

Very tasty - I wonder if I start storing up "partner-points" I can make next years...

Pretty sure that the Razzionville track wasn't completed in 1870, it's where Emile Zola fought. ;)

Wonderful looking games, gentlemen - thanks for posting all the picture - much enjoyed looking at them.

Leman. Particularly liked your twin paddle wheel gunboat at Shiloh.

good looking game - it prompted me to buy some 3mm stuff from Peter Pig

Not sure who was actually running the 10mm game pictured, but it certainly isn't Rezonville, as the white coated Austrians in Magenta in the background will testify.

And nor is it in the US which is what I thought FSN was referring to, for some reason, hence my "It's a railroad" remark - sorry, FSN!

Shedman

The railway in the photo is the Milan to Turin line, calling at Rho, Mageneta, Novara,Vercelli, SanthiĆ , Chivasso and Torino Porta Susa and the French did have to bring their artillery across the tracks as the railway and road embankments were the only way to cross the river Ticino

No problem. I was just worried about the 4:45 coming up from the South.

Don't they normally use a team of blokes and loads of heavy equipment to replace rails? I'd have thought getting a bus to do it would be really hard work :D
