Hi everyone,

One of my projects to spruce up my battlefields was to create some Colonial American "snake rail" fence sections. I used them in my most recent French & Indian War games at Drums at the Rapids 2016. I created a tutorial today on how I put them together. Check it out here on my Lead Legionaries blog:

Since my scenarios of Song of Drums and Tomahawks that I'm running at conventions this year feature Indian raids on frontier farmsteads, I needed lots of these sections. They were cheap and quick to build, but I think they turned out pretty nice!

Very nice.  I need a lot more fences, too.

There a good addition to the scenery and so useful, too.

Thanks for posting.
