We played 4 games of the French and Indian War variety at Recruits.
To read about the games, the changes to the basic rules and to see lots more photos, go here:

The table looks great! Love those stone walls... :-*

Did you just glue tiny rocks/ballast together? Or are they a commercial product?

Thanks, Mike!

Rock walls are a JG Miniatures product - even I don't have the patience to stack rocks like that!

I get them at Treefrog: http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/c-1232-buildings-structural-accessories.aspx?pagenum=2&pagesize=100

Great looking terrain and miniatures!  Looks like it was an exciting game, as well.

 Beautiful terrain, I especially like the moss on the fallen trunks! The fire markers came out very well in the pics! Great games you had there! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again, All.

DintheDin - the moss is an attempt to get more "green" in my forests. I like the smoke markers, too - so much so I just got some more from Litko that are 50mm tall!

sespe - I haven't felt the need to melt anything down but this period and this scale in particular has just about eclipsed all my oth3r projects!

Actually those new smoke markers are 100mm tall - even more impressive   ::)
