Lardy Rich:
Afternoon all
We are less than two weeks away from Crisis and the Lard Island build project is well underway. This year we will be running two games, one of What a Tanker run by my chum, Fat Nicholas, while I will be running a Chain of Command game set in the Netherlands in 1940. The latter requires a fair bit of new terrain for the Peel-Raam lone defences which the Germans encountered on the 10th of May 1940.
You can find some of what we've been doing on Lard Island News. Here is the first bit on the canal line: https://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=7434
Here's the second bit on some Dutch bunkers: https://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=7468
And here are a few snaps.
I hope we will see some LAFers there. More updates to come over the next week.
Cheers
Rich

I was reading this on the blog the other night , Rich , nice to see it featured on this forum . I particularly like the way you share the problems and solutions in your terrain making ventures.

Oooh, now this is exactly up my alley, so I'll surely be there! 8)
I've (admittedly very) slowly been working on a similar project, rules-set to be determined; May 1940 in Noord-Brabant, ranging from the Peel-Raam Stelling all the way back to the Moerdijk bridge.
So I'm very interested to see how you will set your table, and how the new CoC Blitzkrieg rules work. Which, coincidentally, I'm planning on picking up at Crisis anyway...
The progress shots so far certainly look promising :)

Thanks. The truth is that I am not naturally artistic, so I hope that I can encourage people who also have ten thumbs to give it a go. Even if my terrain isn't brilliant compared with the gifted amongst us, it is at least unique and a bit different and we can all achieve that much without a lot of effort or any clever bits of kit or tools.
Daeothar. It's my plan to do some Pint-Sized campaigns in the Netherlands covering the action. The campaign, short as it was, has much to recommend it and the May 40 figures are rather swish. Hopefully see you there.
Cheers
Rich
Mad Lord Snapcase:
The canal and bridge look superb. Great work.
