Urban Gaming Board - Part 5

Hi All,

Short update today. I made good progress on board 3 (where the petrol station will be placed) today. An update on that board hopefully wont be too far away.

I cut out the kerb pieces for board 3, did the footpath detail, dry brushed it up and then flocked it.

All that is really left for board 3 is a couple of road markings.

The above pieces are the kerbs for board 3 - they dried off nicely and the 'waviness' of the flocking on the big one has settled down.

Another small project I worked on was some crates. These were a bit fiddly but after assembling, spraying and dry brushing they came pretty good!

Next update should be the completion of board 3. Left on the 'to-do' list is: the Park (for the vacant area where the crates are sitting), flocking the tree bases, phone box, dumpsters, details (posters etc) and weathering for the theatre and detailing the service station.

I also bought some civilians so will have to paint them up when they arrive. I will also have to search a couple of good vehicles (ones which fit the period and aren't too much work).

Chain of Command - Table Top Game

Hi All, Chain of Command , produced by Too Fat Lardies is one of the many World War Two table top games currently on the market. While it does not have the following of Flames of War or Bolt Action, it is still a very good game. Chain of Command Rule Book (image courtesy of Too Fat Lardies) At this stage, Chain of Command only covers the main combatants of the European Theatre but there have been some efforts to branch out to the more esoteric with army lists produced for Japanese, Italians and Belgians. Chain of Command varies a little from some of the more commercial games on the market in a few ways. Firstly it is partially without a points system. The core platoons are devised by actual structural organisation and training of that nation for that time period. Balancing in the game is then taken care of by 'support points' in which the nation with the weaker base organisation can take a few extra things to even up the battle. In reality these support points even u...

German Infantry

Just a quick few pictures of the first miniatures of my German force for Italy. Most of the miniatures are not highlighted yet, but I wanted to get through them more quickly so I could start playing some campaigns. I plan to add a lot more and detail them up a bit but fairly happy with the look of the force so far.
