Fort Vaux for Partizan - WIP
« on: 08 May 2016, 05:29:39 PM »
With Partizan fast approaching, I've been busy adding to my Fort Vaux model.  The show (May 22nd) will be very nearly the 100th anniversary of the siege of Fort Vaux by the Germans (June 2nd-7th 1916) so it seemed an appropriate subject for the first Partizan at its new venue. 

The game is a participation game (4 days of tunnel combat in 40 minutes) using some quick rules driven by playing cards and dice.  If you're at Partizan, please feel free stop by and say hi!

Here's a few shots of ongoing work on the model and figures - new casemates, arches being added, bits of interior detail and a bunk bed factory (thank goodness for Warbases!)



A stock of new models - Germans painted by the talented Scrivs, French by myself. 















Interesting shot of 4 different manufacturers: (L-R) Brigade, Scarab, Old Glory, Woodbine.

Speckled Jim!

Right, best brush up on my research and start growing an enormous droopy French mustache so I'm able to properly help out on the day.

 Definitely going to make sure I make the time to sneak across and take a look .I'm intrigued to see the scale of all your hard work hopeful in better lighting than of old.( will make a change from wishing I'd brought a torch to Partizan )
