Lovely additions, mate.
This project is really coming along very nicely indeed.

It certainly is, but that 'hill' behind the figures looks a little basic, to be honest, mate....

Thanks for the supportive comments.

Paul - That 'hill' is just a desert cloth pressed into service as a backdrop. Terrain boards are next on my agenda.

Gary, can I be really picky?

A pet peeve of mine is flags and seeing the white paper showing from where it has been stuck together. In this case a quick brush along the edge with red paint will finish it off and make it look even better.

Sorry, it's the pedant in me coming out.

Pick away old chap. I'm always up for helpful suggestions. I must admit to not noticing it until you pointed it out and I had a good look. I will tart it up shortly.

I was only kidding about the 'hill', mate.

Excellent scatter terrain! Looking very realistic!

The last pieces of terrain before I start the actual boards themselves. Three indian tepees from Grand Manner.

I intend to add some more minor scatter terrain around the village including camp fires, hobbled ponies and some drying buffalo skins, but they will all have to wait.

These give me the objectives to play test the first scenario - Death on the Little Powder River. It is based on the Washita engagement when Custer attacked Black Kettle's band during winter. Hopefully my scenario will be a little less one sided.

Don't forget that, although the initial Washita attack was brutally one-sided, the cavalry rapidly became bogged down during the mopping-up operation, as hundreds of warriors began to arrive from other camps further down the river (that Custer hadn't scouted out properly, surprise, surprise) and that eventually Custer was forced to withdraw (albeit in good order and apparently with band playing!), leaving Major Elliot and 19 troopers behind to be slaughtered by those newly-arriving Indians. Lots of potential for ruining Custer's day in the scenario...

It's all looking rather splendid by the way. Keep up the great work.
