Don Featherstone memorial game in Belgium.
« on: September 10, 2013, 08:29:21 AM »
Each year, a TSA-team takes part in the "Fortivities" of Fort Bornem (part of the WW I ring of forts around Antwerp) to support the "Fort Bornem Studygroup". This year we presented a pirate game with old school rules (a 1 page D6 treasure hunt affair) in honour of one of the founding fathers of our hobby - Don Featherstone - who passed away recently.

Hi Shaun,

Both "Vauban tower fort" & "town walls" have been made to order by http://more-terrain.de/  .  To be quite honest, I could have build those from scratch myself, but for what they charged me, it wasn't worth my while.  Houses in the town are conversions from a H0 train station and... a money-box!  Ships are waterlined & converted mantle pieces (made in China...).
