Battle at the border (pic hvy)
« on: 06 January 2009, 08:15:19 PM »
The holidays saw another VSF battle. The scenario: The Germans had built a forward base close to the French border. An inconspicuous manor was hiding a deadly super rocket pointed at Paris! The Germans knew the base had been discovered and was about to be overrun. Both sides had dispatched troops to steal the highly secret Quantonium core, and return it to their respective sides. As usual, it was a nail biter to the end.

Lovely storyline and nicely dimmed photos.  Where did you get the buildings from?

Excellent! I cannot decide on a favourite, but I´ve narrowed it down to the camembert box tank and those infernal rocket bombs. :)

The sepia tone is pretty and in-character, but I, for one, would love to see some color closeups of your vehicles and minis.

I must say, Those Rockets are rather wonderful. They remind me somewhat of those shells on Super Mario Brouthers...you know....the ones with the teeth.....

Great washed-out look to the pics. Like a Victorian version of Private Ryan.  :)
