Dec 5th Quatre Bras battle- part one

 I will have to split up the AAR because of the scope of the game. But now, a few photos.


The table representing the battle, all 20 feet long by 6 wide. Ron M., one of the Tabletop Games managers involved is shown setting up & for scale. This view from west of the large wooded area on the battlefield,Quatre Bras itself is shown on the left side of the table.  Piramont & Thyle are at the far end of the table.

The view South of the woods, looking to the Northwest edge of the field.

Boxes of French Line and Leger, some of the 22 battalions assembled and painted by the  store based players From September to game day!  View is south of the Gemienecourt Farm (center)and Quatre Bras (farther on road.)

Much, much more to come!

Looks pretty epic. Looking forward to to seeing more. I got to play in a similarly huge ECW game a few months back and it was quite an experience.

Looks great, Joe, and that's quite an effort by the store based players to paint up that many troops in a short time window! The hills are boxes or similar under the table covering, I'd imagine?

The store crew were fantastic. Did I mention they put together (and painted)the MDF kit houses used on the table?

The hills are Styrofoam, one and two inch thick varieties under the cloth. Some will resurrect as hills after the fabric is removed.
