First, Lord of the Rings skirmish on a fantastic purpose-built gaming table I picked up in the Spring from a young lad whose parents were moving. It's a very nice setup but unbelievably heavy - I think the frame is made of solid cast-iron or something. It's beautifully detailed with scrollwork on the solid wooden frame. Very LotR and as you will see, versatile ;-)
Orcs go over the wall...
And land in 1940s England???
Yes, this is the same table. The builder very cleverly made the city walls and buildings separate for easy storage and even easier "re-purposing" and flexibility. We used the table for a "Sea Lion" skirmish with Fallschirmjaeger, Commandos and Home Guard, and some of Foundry's excellent WW2 civilian types as objective markers.
Over Canada Day we replayed the "Moreuil Wood" Great War game we first played last year, with superb cavalry models from Blaze Away! miniatures, seen here about to skewer some Hun machinegunners...Stay tuned for Massive Update part two...
Nice table! The games look fab on that bad boy.
ReplyDeleteHad to smile at the last shot of the cav at Moreuil Wood. I am a proud owner of some of Dallas' crazy Kentucky Blue horses in an Empire White Wolf unit he did up for me years ago. Must be the fodder... ;)
Gotta love the notion of amortization - now if only we could figure out a game for that table using my Miniature Building Authority terrain...
