Yes, working towards running this game at Trumpter Salute. Hopefully I'll see you there?

Planning on being there with a pulp/Cthulhu game involving rampaging fishmen!

Looking forward to seeing this project progress! Im planning on hosting a 15mm Divisional scale game representing the 4th divisions attack on Hill 145.

Wonderful!

Any chance of bringing this down for Enfilade?

That was my plan, however I have found out just a couple of weeks ago that a wedding I had agreed to officiate on will be that Saturday morning.
If I come down I will have to leave right after the ceremony and get there for the evening session.

Ah, Enfilade's loss is that couple's gain!

As I can not make it to BC, please do take many pics of the battle at Trumpeter Salute

Here is a look at Hill 145 taking shape. Some slope carving needs to be done and a few little tweaks.

View of a Canadian front line trench with fire steps and shell holes. The fire steps are necessary for the rules we will use. A WW1 variant of Chris Leach's "Battles for Empire 2".

Seems I don't have problem with warping. Once the shell holes are done on all the boards, a cover of white glue, sand, dirt and latex paint will be applied to them all.

Comments are welcome.

Sweet....

How did you carve out the shell holes? By hand with a knife od some sort?

wrgmr1 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2017, 03:18:39 AM »

The shell holes were done with a power drill and a large 1/2 bit.

Never thought of using that method, may have to give it a try. Thanks.

Canadian front line trench.

German front line trench.

German 2nd and 3rd line trenches.

That's epic!!

I like that you have made more trenches than you can fit in your kitchen.

Looking great.
Is the Battles For Empire 2 WW1 variant home grown?

wrgmr1 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 02, 2017, 04:49:44 PM »

Thanks Gents!

Fred- I've been working in our spare room, using our apartment size freezer as a table, or a 6'x4' section of the floor.
The kitchen as you can see is quite small, those are 2'x2' sections.

Smirnoff- Chris Leach is a good friend and part of our gaming group. He's been working on the rules with my help. I actually wrote the gas rules. It has been evolving.
The fire steps in the trenches are part of the rules.

Cheers
Will Chris be publishing them?
We play a lot of BFE2, a WW1 version would be good

wrgmr1 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 02, 2017, 05:27:34 PM »

Chris has the intention of publishing them. I will ask him tonight, we are gaming Shako 2. I will let you know.
