Generic horse and musket tented camp

By fluke I came across the tent sale at Renedra and decided to knock up some rows of tents for a simple generic tented camp for my horse and musket stuff. The twenty tents came in at £21.00 GBP including postage (Heads up – Dog Tents are currently on half price sale, £2.50 GBP for four).
With just an afternoon's work I think the rows of tents came out pretty well. I've given a very brief description of what I did to achieve the result on my blog, plus links to renedra, etc.

Thanks everyone, for your kind words.
Tents are something I've only occasionally found a use for, such as the Battle of Chotusitz and various CS Grant scenarios. In the past I've either knocked up some simple folded white card wedges as tents or, more usually, ignored completely by putting a couple of wagons and the odd pile of crates and sacks in an enclosed field and called it a 'camp'. In short, tents are only a 'nice to have'; an unessential thing to grace a table when required; a frippery, a garnish.....

Although if you play By Fire and Sword, one of the ten scenarios is a night time attack on a camp. All the defending units start in tents, so tents are pretty much essential to mark where your units are.
There are other games where you need to search a camp, tents are quite handy for that- remove a tent to show it has been searched (but possibly not if on multi-bases).

Superb.
...and if one of your miniatures behaves badly, you could have him running between his fellow soldiers hitting him with their musket ramrods, with the tents in the background as in this engraving from Guérard.

Or, as in a recent game I ran, you can have a player that has to take down its camps as part of a fighting withdrawal - in appropriate increments.
Many ways to use those nice tents, including as a garnish!
