Fantastically impressive range of tables there. Really stunning work, your games club is to be roundly applauded (or, possibly, attacked simultaneously by many other games clubs from the Midlands who will attempt to steal the lovely booty)!

Right, saved this one and the other Russian/Eastern Front images to my inspiration folder! This is a Russian Civil War game, is it not?

The underlying table here is one of your Bridge Too Far boards, isn't it?

What an extraordinarily wonderful set of varied terrain. I'm particularly drawn to the first peninsular/Mediterranean board for some reason for a spot of Sharp Practice  8)

That peninsular war board on the L-shaped table is particularly excellent.

One thing I noticed is that you seem to use a lot of loose scatter on several boards: Sand, building debris, bushes, etc. I can see the appeal of this in that it gives you an easily varied and more realistic look, but do you find the mess is a pain to clean up?

The 'mediterranean' table with the village is my favourite.  Though each and every one is a veritable work of art.
Great work.

Usually the scatter is on a cloth based game,the cloth is pulled together at the end of the game and the scatter is steered back into a large tub and job done,i have a dust pan and brush just incase but dont need it if its done carefully.

Awesome stuff; every single one of those tables is excellent on its own, but to see them paraded one after the other has me well and truly gobsmacked. :-*

I am especially inspired by the one table in its own gameroom, with the cloudy skies painted on the walls opposite eachother; that's genius and the idea has been firmly filed for future reference! 8)

And I already recognised the landscape of the one referred to table with the railroad on it (and the windmill of course ;) ) as typically Dutch; well done indeed!

All of a sudden...all of my terrain looks like a joke.  Brilliant and humbling stuff.  I think its safe to say that gaming on tables like that is what we all envision, yet seldom realize as gamers/hobbyists.

One day I will have all that, I only need a few million on the lottery & a wargame room the size of an aircraft hanger. Ah it is nice to dream. All the stuff just makes me want to game to that standard. As others have said,'Thanks for sharing'.
