:-* :o that is a dream table

AWESOME :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Look at the size of that thing...I don't have nearly enough figures to cover that.
Top quality work. LOTS of top quality work.
-
Lovely work and lovely to see the ANZACs in their element fighting Johnny Turk.
Congrats on a fine looking board.

Did I die and go to wargaming heaven?

:o :o :o

Is it me or is there a huge amount of just amazing :o stuff being posted in the past few days.
This board, and then the Copplestone tramp steamer and figs, Frank and his Indian Wars, the steamer WIP and plenty more. There has always beeen outstanding work posted but so much in such a short time....? We are being spoiled.
I'll second that!
It sure does get the LPL juices flowing...

Wow, that is truly amazing. Inspiring and yet simultaneously depressing. Will never have the time resources or abilty to match that. I would love to play on that, particularly if I got the opportunity to snipe that silly bugger Maj. General Bridges.
Even at a quarter of a century's remove, I still have distasteful memories of my fellows being forced to break from their midday repast to climb a steep hill to check how many links there were on the fence around his grave. A test for the innocent and unsuspecting. The answer to this conundrum maybe found here.

Holy hell, that is an amazing piece of terrain! Grandmanner's Facebook page is full of purest terrain porn. Awesome stuff.
I was in Gallipoli 11 years ago, spring of 2000 on one of my backpacking trips around Europe. I was the only person in the minibus tour who didn't have an ANZAC accent - our Turkish guide had spent a year in Australia (working on a history degree) and had a pronounced Oz accent!
Gallipoli is either vertical or covered in thornbushes - sometimes both. I've seen a couple of sites on the Western Front too, but 70+ years of greenery softens them. Gallipoli really hasn't changed, these days it's mostly still raw rock, thornbushes, memorials and graveyards.
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us, where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears; Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." - Atatürk

Amazing. I was going to run a Suvla Bay game this weekend, but now I don't think I'll bother. It will look so shit compared to that.
-
top drawer stuff, if I win the lottery I think I'll be giving Dave a call to see if he will build another :)
-
Simply amazing and breathtaking! :-*
ps: but I wouldn't want to pay that commision!
-
Oh. Wow. Beautiful.
I'm planning on running a Sudan game tomorrow, terrain consisting of a piece of cloth with some books underneath, and an assortment of stones scavenged from the garden...
:'(
-
Oof! :-*
-
We should really add a froth-smiley to this forum :-*
-
Oh lordy!
-
This will be at Salute? :o
Another reason to look forward to Salute this year
-
this is excellent and very inspirational!
-
Clucking Bell! :o
That's a bit nice…
-
I just stumbled across this one
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I can't wait to see photos of the game!
-
Hey, I love food and sometimes a quick sandwich can be every bit as delicious and enjoyable as a gastronmic extravanganza.
Top notch looking-on-the-bright-side Bezzo! 8)
Really looking forward to seeing this at Salute, even if I'm likely to plan some intricate Italian Job style heist on the journey up there. ::)
-
That is beyond amazing!
-
That's spectacular :-*

Thanks,
Josua

ADMIRABLE o_o :o for sure!

This is an astonishing piece of terrain building. Well done Mr Bodley! I rarely get time to look round all of Salute, being tied to a game for most of the day, but I'm going to make 10 minutes to get a look at this!
-
I love the idea of doing some Gallipoli games but the terrain you need has always put me off. I'm even more put off now!
Sometimes something is so good it just makes you give you up before you started! It could be that this board actually stops people gaming this!
-
Well I attended the show and the board was even more amazing in real life - particularly as it was covered in some lovely Gripping Beast figures. I had a chat with the guy who made it and he was very friendly and modest. One chap I heard talking to him had just come back from Gallipoli and said it captured it beautifully. Grab a copy of Wargames Illustrated 283 for lots of pictures.
On another positive note there were 4 or 5 other WW1 games there. A fantastic Kaiserlacht game by Whistable and Herne bay gamers club - very knowledge and friendly chaps - looks superb and shows what can be achieved by ordinary gamers working together - the troops where mainly plastic and looked superb. And cold tea for the watery mud in shellholes! There was also two nice early war games and some aerial games. All top notch.
Very enjoyable show and it has inspired me to buy some WW1 figures to paint up after nearly 20 years of only computer gaming.
-
Good thing indeed then Tim. 8)
I'm not sure how but I missed this table, me and the lads where kicking ourselves when we realised.
-
Love to see some good pics of this and the other WW1 games. I saw a few of the Kaiserschlact game on the South London Warlords blog..but none of this one?
Can anyone post some for us Antipodeans and other hangers-on at the fringes of the Empire?
-
A few hundred pictures here in three parts by Joe Dever.
At least half a dozen of the Gallipoli game as well.
It was simply breathtaking!
