You did so much, we tinkered with building 1/72 armies minifigs and messed about a but never came close to a lovely game like this.

The internet, blogs, digital photography, have really enriched and grown it.

I have quite a few of the kind of blurry pictures you have (and some better ones that I posted last year). It makes you appreciate how much better digital photos are, along with ability to easily edit them for clarity and exposure etc - even my vintage Y2K Nikkon digital camera (still in use, although I have to use a card reader as it is too old for the direct interface to any modern computers) is head and shoulders above all but the most expensive and expertly used film cameras of back then.<br /><br />Allowing for that, I think your tables look quite attractive, actually. I got a chuckle out of the location in your parent's basement - growing up, the table our group played on a ping pong table in my parents un-insulated attic - way below freezing in the winter, and sweletringly hot in the summer. Din't stop us from playing, though, except at the worst extremes!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-80299752849188625382015-05-19T12:54:10.864+12:002015-05-19T12:54:10.864+12:00I didn't go to that convention, though I did, ...I didn't go to that convention, though I did, as Treasurer for the Wargames Club subsequently, experience some of the fall-out. <br /><br />I like casualty removal in rules for psychological - 'feel the pain' - reasons, though I have to admit that it can look a bit untidy. To see a force of 40 figures whittled down to 7 in just two turns is to know (on the war games table, of course) what 'withering fire' means. This occurred in the second Battle of Reims during the course of a Napoleonic campaign played out in 1990-1.<br /><br />The second, supporting, wave overran the objective a move later...<br /><br />I recall your plastic Napoleonics, Mark: superbly presented to your usual standard.<br /> Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-64905425055443565432015-05-19T12:41:42.325+12:002015-05-19T12:41:42.325+12:00Great stuff.

I remember that convention - I think John Moher was playing 15mm ACW and the guy from Military Miniatures was there and he had the license for selling Front Rank or which I bought a tonne (paying by cheque !)<br /><br />CheersJackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156243437690752780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-14464150286726894012015-05-19T12:10:11.953+12:002015-05-19T12:10:11.953+12:00What an excellent find!
