Not-So Merry England: UD 6/2 Hedge Gates

[Roo]

Very very nice, inspirational stuff.  Encore!

[Hu Rhu]

Steve, I've been away from the forum for a while so whilst catching up I have re-read the thread from the beginning.  A very inspirational project and it has ceratinly given me some ideas for future ECW gaming.  Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much chaps and welcome back Gary. 

Just to complete the ‘gaming mat in a clip frame’ discussion, here it is mounted on a wall. The frame has a clear plastic sheet that in normal use  protects the poster but in this case also stops the the mat collecting dust &/or shedding fibre over the floor. The plastic sheet is easily removed for games. The frame is held to the wall by cup hooks (bent into prongs) that insert into the screw holes in the rear of the frame.



As previously mentioned, I’m painting more units and here are some WIP photos showing Bicorne and Renegade alongside each other plus the use of Warlord plastic bits for conversions.

Great idea with the wall mount. You could almost get away with calling it art. It just needs a smal sign next to it.

Great little conversion. How difficult will it be to paint the flag? I always do mine sans figure and stick them on later

The flags are a very simple design. I have one Command Unit for each force that I can field as either mounted or foot, so the cavalry flag is a simpler interpretation of the foot. For the foot flags I’ve gone for slogans so the cavalry flags are basically just a block colour with a border. Simples.

Both the Royalist cavalry flag and the Parliament foot flag (I’ve yet to paint the Royalist one but it’ll be blue with a different slogan) can be seen in this photo:

Magnificent project.

Fab stuff Steve. 

And prolific

As a fan of your stuff I‘m not impartial, but this board is a very good idea. You can use it in a multi games campaign. This opens a lot of ideas for gaming. Great work.

We will need to see some pictures from the official opening with speeches and champagne.

Thanks all

The board will work for the games taking place quite deep into the campaign. As a campaign the objectives and a lot of the initial dispositions are decided pre-battle (as a consequence of the story that has been building).  Thus the games can get away with a smaller table as the more typical early moving about is avoided. That said, by the time I get to 150 figures per side I expect I’ll be needing more space. Fingers crossed then that theory and practice will coincide!

But who will be the honourable guests?

You know I thought about doing something similar with my Pulp Alley tables- they are 3x3 and could easily mount on the wall and pass for 'art'.
