Just posted a battle report of the Point du Hoc game we played yesterday on my blog:

And yes... this is in 28mm including the cliffs! 

Enjoy,

Wow, that is impressive and amazing!

What bases did you  use for the figures? I like the nice touch of the labels at the bottom to give info about the figure.

Also, how did you get the figures to sit on the lines going up the cliff facing?

"I used .1mm hardned steel pins set into the cliff at regular intervals. You can out the minis on top of those and the are virtually invisible once you are more then 30cm away."

Good idea

Thanks guys!

Since Lowtardog already quoted the trick how the minis "climbed" the wall from the blog... The bases are normal slotta bases. The tags are the easiest way to identify the minis. I found giving them "names" (nationality, function, number) is far better then colour coding them. This way one can cater for all kinds of historical TO&As.

Cheers,

This is surely looking like a fun game, I had a good time reading about your adventures. It also seems like you had researched the subject a bit before the game, wich made the whole thing more enjoyable!

Very well done.
Like how you were able to bring it all together.

Thank you guys!

I always put a lot of research into these project. Historic research is one of the great things about this hobby IMHO... so why miss all the fun!

Wow - that is just a fantastic piece of scenery, I can't remember the last time (if ever) I've seen something akin to that in 28mm!

The use of pin for climbing figures to rest is inspired while the fortress and figures are great.

Oh, and the AAR was gripping as well!

Thanks for sharing.
