In preparation for the article and to update the original scenario posts with actual pictures of the tables I used, I cleaned up some of the pictures and added setup notations. I've included those pictures below and have gone back and updated the original scenario posts.
Sidebar: One of the "pressures" of blogging is feeling like every post needs to be a novel or cover some major progress/battle report. I've seen others post a little more frequently on week-to-week stuff they are working on and any progress they are making (or even on a lack of progress). I'm trying out the "post a little more often" approach as there is always something each week that is going on ... let me know if it gets annoying (email or comment).
OK ... for the sake of consolidation and finding the scenarios easily when I run these games in the future ... and going in order that the engagements took place ...

Those tables are works of art!
ReplyDeleteBrave man to take this on in 28s.
Thanks! Yes, made a choice many years ago to standardize on 28mm ... for better or worse ;-)
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work.
ReplyDeleteGlad it is all done ... now on to Waterloo! :-)
DeleteHaving seen these in person they are great looking games. I like ACW gaming and having all of your work in one place I think is a good idea for future reference. Also having a 'standard' size is a great idea as it helps in getting games on the table.
ReplyDeleteMy own ACW is in 15/18mm but there is no denying that 28mm makes for great looking games. Plus the details you put into these scenarios is awesome. Thanks for posting.
You are too kind Stew!! Thank you!!
DeleteMeh.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Just kidding! These three scenario's could easily be a special edition issue of WI all by themselves. Can't wait to see it in print.
Bhahahaha! Man ... you had me! I scolled down and just saw meh ... was thinking damn Ivor is hard to impress!!
DeleteInspiring and informative, thumbs up Jay!
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts on blogging are similar to mine. I'm always afraid of writing to much, or making it sound interesting. Your stuff is always fun to read no matter the subject, and when you don't post my thoughts are... I hope Jay is okay, I wonder what he is doing?
Cheers
Kevin
Lol, thanks Kevin! I wonder if I'm ok sometimes as well ;-)
DeleteA+++!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay!
DeleteA lot of hard work gone in to this Jay, so getting it all in WI will be well deserved recognition for you.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
Thanks Pat! :-)
DeleteHi jay, I’m thinking of giving your rules and try and I was wondering what you use to mark/track hits on a unit?

We use number counters from Historique Shop (http://www.historiqueshop.com/index.php?) - same ones we use for Bolt Action pins.
