“A Greenhouse in a Hailstorm”: A “Through the Mud and the Blood” AAR

[Sambeaux]

From what is it that you are making the houses please?  These are very nice indeed. 

Which trader can I buy the Mud and Blood rules?  I have the Great War rules but I think that the trench war supplement is not coming now.  Who knows.  Maybe?

Sambeaux,

Thanks for the comments.  The houses are made with a base of MDF or Hardboard and the walls are from foamboard.  I coat the whole with a wash of PVA glue mixed with some polyfilla powder (interior filler).  I put a “how to” on my blog a couple of months ago.  There are loads of great examples of other peoples’ buildings using similar methods in the “workbench” section on this forum, but if you need any pointers, please let me know.

The “Through the Mid and the Blood” rules for the First World War are available from TooFatLardies (http://toofatlardies.co.uk).  They also have a supplement called “Stout Hearts and Iron Troopers” which covers about 20 scenarios for the Western Front.

Word on the WAB Forum is that “Over the Top”, the WGW supplement, should be out in 2011.  Fingers crossed.

That's a fantastic looking board and game report.

I'm not a Great War gamer but if I ever want to start I'll use this thread as inspiration.
