Dakka,

Its been awhile since my group has shared anything, so I thought I'd drag the table out into some natural light and liven up the Historical sub-forum with some much needed pictures. Here are a few pictures of our 7x4 board, soon to be a 9x4. I'd like to add some more depth but that is going to require another trip to the hardware store. I must admit that I'm rather smug over what our beginning 4x4 table has matured into. We've got a good group coming this weekend so I hope to get some pics and minor batreps up as well.

After all, half the fun of Dakka is the pictures. In the meantime ill try to get some pics and descriptions of our Battlegroup armies.

Feel free to post up any 15mm Battlegroup stuff you have here.

Tucker.

That looks so good, thanks very much for posting!

Does having such a lovely table result in more games or just more motivation to play games?

Yes, that's a great table. How large are the games you play on that 9x4 surface?

Looking forward to seeing your armies too!

I love these posts with awesome boards like this. Great job!

Its amazing the effect that well made terrain has on a game. It's a far more enjable expeirence to play on a battlefield that actually looks like real part of the world.

Thanks y'all. I enjoy the feedback. Its a great motivator to keep working on things.


Manchu: It mostly results in me sitting in my game shed staring at toys rather than studying! But yes it really is a motivator for our game group to gather up and play games. We play pretty much every weekend since starting WW2 stuff.

Aesop: Im not sure if you are familiar with the Battlegroup ruleset but we play fairly small points levels on large boards, Usually around 400 points which equals a platoon, a tank or two and some sort of fire support. We like to have lots of objectives and plenty of space to maneuver so that the game doesn't turn into some meat grinder of pushing models toward the center of the board.


These armored panzer grenadiers are my real labor of love and the typical size battlegroup you would see on a Saturday afternoon in our group. Although the company commander and the platoon commander both rate large 251 half-tracks I don''t have the models for them so they get the shortened 250/1's instead which also means my platoon command squad is only four guys (maybe I should compensate myself with a free panzerfaust)













Some dug in markers made on BF bases. Great use for plastics that break.



Plastic Soldier Company Panzer V "Panther". This guy hasn't seen much action. Hoping to get some kill rings on him in the coming weeks.




Also a little sneak peek of what is to come for our group......
