This looks incredible!
I have no idea how this would work over zoom though. Do the other four players only get the single vantage point from the camera? How do they view the table as opponents? Do they just tell you where they want to move models?

I wish I understood this.

Great looking table, can't wait for lock-down to end so I can get some figures back on the table.

On the ‘Virtual Lard’ days there’s one camera, usually the PC, giving an overall view of the table and then another camera, laptop or phone, that can be moved around to provide a POV as required and players choose their view (and judging by that last photo Mr Deedles has all the required tech :)). It actually works very well and can (slightly) remove the 500ft high General aspect of wargaming. I suspect Zoom gaming will continue to some extent after lockdowns are a distant memory.

Great table, it looks like a busy and hectic town.

I've played on this table a few years back when I was supposed to be working at the truly awful Scarborough show and can vouch for how good it is and how much fun it would have been.

It’s this:-
I use IPad to give table overview and then a roving mobile phone that’s logged into the same video bridge (zoom in this case) to move around as the current player wants to .

Exactly that . It’s a different for of gaming , but can also give  opportunity to test the fog of war differently .
