This morning I managed to put everything so far in the 'Battle Cry' project together for the first time. It sits on my folding card table right behind my painting desk and the game can be played sitting comfortably as intended. The PVC mat unrolls onto a foamboard base that fold in half for storage and I painted a black border on all four edges of the board. The entire game measures up at 110cm x 75cm when set up.
Grandson Oscar 'Ozzy' popped in on his way home from his half day at playgroup and his entire face lit up when he saw it! I just had to grab a couple of photos of him sitting there.
To be honest this is just about done now and my main focus will be on my planned railway Micro layout, but I will be adding more cavalry and mounted personalities from Kallistra plus the Iron Brigade as and when they arrive. Much as I had intended to keep this project entirely 'Epic' the price of the Warlord resin command packs just seemed unjustifiable when they work out around £3.00 each compared to 50p each in metal from Kallistra.
All in all it's worked out rather well I think.
Very nice Lee - a great looking set-up, both the battlefield and the armies. 👏👏 Now you need to work on “encouraging” the next generation of gamers. Perhaps if Ozzy wins a battle you could award him a medal 😉

A medal sounds a great idea Geoff :)

Ah, I see that young Ozzy appreciates your figures as we do!
