BTC do some really fantastic terrain items - they are a booth I always spend a bit of time at during the HMGS cons 😀<br />We just got a bunch of dials at the club for Sharp Practice to track "shock" - I hope we don't run into the same problems you did.<br />Good luck with your game coming up, hopefully you'll get all 6 to come 😀Ivor Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928387567891480797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-59695478790551385082021-06-11T06:15:43.006-07:002021-06-11T06:15:43.006-07:00Thanks Jeff!

I guess the only way to find out if the rocks will do is actually put on the ACW game about Little Round Top. <br />And I did tell the wife that I would like to put on one more big game night before we move. We’ll see if it happens though. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-52932036038975920422021-06-10T16:21:06.421-07:002021-06-10T16:21:06.421-07:00It is a shame the rocks aren't a bit bigger bu...It is a shame the rocks aren't a bit bigger but I think they'll be a good stand-in. If they save you a fair bit of hobbying time, then that isn't a bad tradeoff either. I never thought I'd see the day where you become a fussy modeler either! Welcome to the club :D There's always room for more here! Its great to hear you'll be able to get a game in soon. I'm sure that will be invigorating for hobbying once you get your move done with. I hope that is going well and you aren't moving slowly in hopes of getting a game in first ;)Kuribohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142002129545901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-68656691344849456772021-06-10T15:48:47.651-07:002021-06-10T15:48:47.651-07:00Thanks Dai.

Sure the rocks could be used in other settings though my ACW is really my only 15/18mm collection that sees the table much these days. 😀<br /><br />We’ve emailed about the game.

I very much like the black and numeral approach, stands out far better. <br /><br />Wish I could make the game mate, but will grumble at my lack of gaming and enjoy your following post showing how it went instead.

In the UK we are scheduled to come out of the final lock down restrictions on 21st June, but variants are causing infection rates to climb again, so there is talk of a few weeks delay while that data reveals itself more fully.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-64849804346047197252021-06-08T19:46:55.416-07:002021-06-08T19:46:55.416-07:00Surely not 100%….you are being too kind once again...Surely not 100%….you are being too kind once again. <br />The den came out well but it’s a really nice sculpt so it was easy to do. I do wish it was 8x6 instead of the 6x4. <br />The upcoming game will be set in the wilderness (didn’t make all those trees for nothing) so I doubt the den will show up on the battlefield.
