"This board was commisioned by Wargames Illustrated for articles in the mag on Gallipoli and for display at 2011 Salute. These photo graphs dont do it justice so come and see it at Salute, il be there and il be happy to see you to all. Dont forget to buy issues of Wargames Illustrated to see in full detail with Woodbine design figures."

Look at the size of that thing...I don't have nearly enough figures to cover that.
Top quality work.  LOTS of top quality work.

Lovely work and lovely to see the ANZACs in their element fighting Johnny Turk.

Congrats on a fine looking board.

Is it me or is there a huge amount of just amazing   stuff being posted in the past few days.

This board, and then the Copplestone tramp steamer and figs, Frank and his Indian Wars, the steamer WIP and plenty more. There has always beeen outstanding work posted but so much in such a short time....? We are being spoiled.

I'll second that!
It sure does get the LPL juices flowing...

Wow, that is truly amazing. Inspiring and yet simultaneously depressing. Will never have the time resources or abilty to match that. I would love to play on that, particularly if I got the opportunity to snipe that silly bugger Maj. General Bridges.

Even at a quarter of a century's remove, I still have distasteful memories of my fellows being forced to break from their midday repast to climb a steep hill to check how many links there were on the fence around his grave. A test for the innocent and unsuspecting. The answer to this conundrum maybe found here.

Holy hell, that is an amazing piece of terrain! Grandmanner's Facebook page is full of purest terrain porn. Awesome stuff.

I was in Gallipoli 11 years ago, spring of 2000 on one of my backpacking trips around Europe. I was the only person in the minibus tour who didn't have an ANZAC accent - our Turkish guide had spent a year in Australia (working on a history degree) and had a pronounced Oz accent!

Gallipoli is either vertical or covered in thornbushes - sometimes both. I've seen a couple of sites on the Western Front too, but 70+ years of greenery softens them. Gallipoli really hasn't changed, these days it's mostly still raw rock, thornbushes, memorials and graveyards.

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us, where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears; Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." - Atatürk

Amazing. I was going to run a Suvla Bay game this weekend, but now I don't think I'll bother. It will look so shit compared to that.

top drawer stuff, if I win the lottery I think I'll be giving Dave a call to see if he will build another 

[Belgian]

Simply amazing and breathtaking! 

ps: but I wouldn't want to pay that commision!

Oh. Wow. Beautiful.

I'm planning on running a Sudan game tomorrow, terrain consisting of a piece of cloth with some books underneath, and an assortment of stones scavenged from the garden...
