I'm too old (or rather, my eyes are) to even consider this scale but this game just proves how effective and spectacular it can be. I wasn't able to attend the show but the pictures on the blog and others I have seen on the internet probably don't do it justice.

That's one hell of a show you put on!
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Engaging with the kids and handing out bases was a classy move. Well done on all fronts.

It was even more impressive in person, then you can really appreciate how the detail scales from the "bird's eye view of the table" to individual bases themself.

It was great to stop by and chat with you guys.
