Urban Gaming Board - Part 8

A bit more work on the board on the weekend, the part has come together and been flocked. I am looking around for a few flowers to finish it off.

Otherwise I worked on some dumpsters


These came out really well and look great on the board.

I also received some civilians and painted them up as well!


I decided to go for bolder colours with the civilians so they would stand out more. I am really happy with how they turned out.

Not sure how to base my miniatures...I actually don't mind the black but wouldn't mind getting rid of the step/two base look (smooth them out - but not sure how).

There is not a whole lot left to do on the board now.

On the to-do list is:

  • weathering the service station
  • basing the trees in the park
  • finish service station sign (optional)
  • vehicles (optional)
  • posters (optional)
I also have three more miniatures on their way (a couple of agents for the cops and a gangster with a BAR).

I am thinking the next update (or maybe the one after) will be the big reveal - I cant actually believe I have stuck with this and saw it through!

Until then.

Gebirgsjagers - Chain of Command

Hi All I have been a long time table-top gaming enthusiast but have never really collected until recently. Something that I have never done due to time, talent and direction is painted. I suppose for me the collecting went hand in hand with the painting and as I could not paint, I did not collect and therefore I did not game. Well last year I decided to try my hand at painting. While I continue to learn a lot and my efforts are not the best I am a lot more confident that if I try I may be able to get a 'table-top' standard I am happy with. Anyway last year I began to paint some German Gebirgsjagers, however I noticed that there is no list in Chain of Command for them yet. They are quite similar to regular German infantry so with a bit of research and CoCulator help I settled on the below - Comments appreciated. Germany Heer Gebirgsjager Rifle Platoon (Pre 1942) Introduction The German Gebirgsjager (mountain infantry) of World War Two found its origins in...

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...
