Title: Bloody Cremona
Post by: bigredbat on 02 June 2014, 09:13:05 PM
Here are some shots of the game I ran at Partizan.  I'm inordinately proud of my bridge... although everyone asked about the vineyards, instead.  It was almost as if it was a "stealth" bridge.  Grrr... ;-)

Awesome stuff.  Saw some pics of this game on WSS's facebook page.  Looks brilliant.

Great bridge, much better that the vineyards (which are also very nice)  :D

The whole setup looks superb.

It was an ace game, loads of nice touches, I especially liked the legionary sunbathing (and the bridge, obviously!)

Cunning use of vinyl tiles for the river too.

Good work!

Thanks chaps! 

James, that legionary sneaks into most of my games.  I like the idea of a soldier slacking off in the midst of the fighting.

Cheers, Simon

Actually, thinking about it, I'd like a few more details about the boat if possible  :)

What a fantastic board.  Love the bridge, although I'm not sure I'd have room for one quite that big.  Also love the vineyards.

I loved the bridge!

Didn't see the vineyards though  :( .....daughter was in charge of pics on the day as I was chatting away to people so I'll blame her for not pointing them out  :D

Thank you Simon, just the sort of thing I was looking for  :)

Going to do a Romans in Cumbria project fairly soon and try and build some of Ravenglass.

A stunning set-up.
All of it, but that bridge is particularly good, nice tonal work on the wood.
 :-* :-* :-*

I cannot find the slacking legionary, though... ???

He's in all my games, but I forgot to take a pic!  He's on this blog, towards the bottom.

One day I plan to model a complementary figure; a German auxiliary, on a lounger.  ;-)

Start the deployment with a towel on a lounger - no German. Replace with German on a lounger before the main opposition turn up. :D

Superb looking game, as always. Love the bridge. Still think the vineyards are a work of genius.

A grand spectacle, all this deserved praise on the bridge and boat, but what about all those bloody legionaries? Magnificent stuff.
Title: Re: Bloody Cremona
Post by: bigredbat on 03 June 2014, 07:28:13 PM
Thanks chaps!   

The poor legionaries were somewhat overlooked.  I was pleased with them, though.

Keith, I'll drop you a line tomorrow...

Cheers, Simon

This bigred-madness again!!

Simon, you are my Ancients hero, you really manage to start and also to finish all the projects I am only dreaming of. Damn, it's so bloody impressive.
Title: Re: Bloody Cremona
Post by: bigredbat on 03 June 2014, 08:13:17 PM
I thank you, your Profness.

Several more insane projects are in the pipeline... I'm just kicking ideas about.  Luckily there are still some big battles left to do!  :)

I had the pleasure of playing in the game on Sunday - the rules are good fun and easy to play too! (and I'm not just saying that because the Othonians won against all the odds!)  :D
Would recommend anyone who is looking for a fast and furious set of rules to try out 'To the Strongest' - highly recommended.

Cheers
