4Ground terrain shipment arrived and it took me right back to the time of building legos. It was such a crazy feeling to be building wargames terrain and not having to take it to the next step of painting afterwards. Quite a relief to be honest.
Once you the hang of the instructions the kits build quite quickly but they go take some time getting used to.
So I popped on Patton and The Longest Day and got to work gluing...
That escalated quickly...
The Adepticon build has gotten back on track. Even had the exact amount of ballast to seal this baby...
February 1st is the final edits to rule packets for Adepticon so things are getting close. I have something really special planned for all those in attendance at the doubles event.
My great Uncle was part of an observation crew that mapped enemy positions from the air. He was involved in the end of the Africa invasion and primarily flew missions in Italy. His family saved all the big headlines from the Chicago Tribune back in the day.
I framed the big names ones, 1939 German attacks, French blitzkrieg, Pearl Harbor, liberating Rome, and D-Day. Complete with maps and all the speculation of the day.
We will also be tracking all the results of the days battles on a world map. Seeing how people change history fighting in some of the most famous battles of the time. Normandy, Pegasus Bridge, Stalingrad, Foy, Caen, Berlin, Tunisia.
On the space front, the United Defense Force has discovered a secret Zentraedi asteroid base.
Really happy with this table. Last minute touches will be mounted it about 6 inches taller on PVC pipe stands. Get that floating look.
You know its funny, now that we play a game in a historical period where actual living connections exists we've never talked about it, I know Brent has some family history too...My Grandfather, was in Mark Clark's 5th Army and was in Africa and Italy and was a special ops guy .his brother, my great uncle was A Seabee in the Pacific ....the 4 Ground Peg Bridge looks great.. man you are going all out I know that isnt cheap..nice man...
