Here's a teaser from the big game this weekend. We hope to post more over the next couple days over at http://huzzahm10.blogspot.com/.
This is a picture of the table just prior to the game starting. Sadly, it was 8 feet shorter than intended.

33 foot by 7 foot "map"
This is the table cover for MillenniumCon 2007. We are putting on a corps-size Napoleonic game, with 24-figure battalions.
There will a styrofoam ridgeline in the center where the big monochrome light green splotch is, and of course it will be decorated with trees, lichen, buildings, and a thousand or two figures!
A ground cloth may not be the most beautiful thing, but it beats plain felt in looks and is a lot more portable than terrain boards when you drive a Honda...

September already?
Although obviously intended mainly for my Hesse-Fedora project, I also intended that this blog would cover my other gaming interests. Now, here it is September already, and I had only a single post in August! So, what's been happening on the toy soldier front?
First, I have spent most of my gaming time preparing for the big Napoleonic game that my friend Ray and I have scheduled for Millennium Con X in Austin, TX on November 10. To that end, I've been basing figures and making movement trays. Sadly, we have decided to make one modification to the rules, and are using 2-deep figures to represent a line, that changes the basing for columns as well. Of course, all of my movement trays were already built for columns using the original rules...C'est la guerre!
I am fielding a reinforced French corps at 30:1. There are 25 battalions, 30 squadrons, and 21 miniature guns, about 800 figures all told. A complete OB is at Huzzah!
Here are some of the Napleonics:
Hussars
French 13th Cuirassiers
Most of the corps...

Napoleonics!
My first era of wargaming, and the one I to which I always come back. Right now I am deeply involved in a large 28mm game to be presented at MillenniumCon 10 in Austin, TX. For specific details, see the Huzzah! blog.
