Excellent work gentlemen. The only 'downside' to all this is it makes us all try a little harder! :D

Something of a more nautical flavour:

[quote="Mage Knight Kevin"]Ferret,

Sweet models! Hey, I see you're from Northern Virginia. I used to live down I-29 in Charlottesville. There used to be a great game club at UVa...any idea if it's still there?

Kevin --

I'm actually well north of there (probably 300 miles) ... close to Leesburg. I am actually from New England and know little of that part of the state. Sorry,

Pat Callahan

Mickel,

Nicely done! I've seen some 1:1200's / 1:1250's which were not done nearly as well -- and at twice the size!

Look forward to seeing more of your work!

Regards,
Tom Stockton

My problem exactly. When you build non-motorized German and Soviet units, you can never have too many limbers and wagons.

Chris, the Royal Navy never looked better. What are you using for your playing surface?

David,

The playing surface the ships are on is actually just a sheet of foam wall insulation I bought at Home Depot with a blue plastic film on one side of it. Not sure the manufacturer ever thought about how good it looks as the ocean.

Cool, I hadn't thought of using it for that, either.

Here is a pic of a 1940 field battery about to unload on the BEF forces a few miles away. The figs are a mix of GHQ, Adler, Scotia and C in C based for Spearhead.

Enjoy!

And the Yanks advance towards the sunken road at my Antietam game from Historicon 2005.

Nice ACWbill- you know we put on a game at Little wars about two years ago-Dunkard church- The Iron brigade was challenged by Hood's brigade- this time it was the east woods and the cornfield-the cornfield was the bloodiest ("B" battery also earned their pay that day)-this game was done 1 to 1 scale in 15mm-what a sight!
