Snowwear for Franco-indian war

[nervisfr]

hey guys,

thank you for your comments.

the best to suit the winter is to add some "snow" on your base like cooton wool or padding for anorak.
i use "Christmas" carpet for the ground and that's could be a solution to mask your "summer" basing.

the advantage with the rules of "song of Drums and tomahawks" is that you need only few figs so i can use some specials ones for winter scenario....that's don't burn out my Credit Card.....


cheers

And paint more figs in winter dress.

hey guy,

A small update to tell you that i'll post in a few days a battle report for my "Snow Patrol Project" with the excellent rules "Song of Drums and Tomahawks".

To wait this AAR, i drop you some lines and pics of the scenario :

" It's very cold outside, the temperature is falling down, snow and strong wind are coming. Catch by surprise with that so bad weather, the frontiermen's patrol need to find a good place to spend the night or die in the wilderness...."



the table with in the background, the Huron hunters' camp that could be the solution for the Frontiermen.  



The Frontiermen start to raid the huron's camp before the night fall.  

Now you have to wait some days to get the full story !

 

cheers
Eric

That is one nice, snowy table! I love it. By the way, you may have pulled me kicking and screaming into doing something similar. I ordered those Knuckleduster winter apparel Indians. And I even found another Indian with snow shoes in my miscellaneous bag.

Can't wait to read the report!

Magnifique, Eric! Great job on your scenario design. You can feel the desperation of the frontiersmen as the weather closes in. Sounds like a fun game. I'll link it to my web page soon...
