Blue eyed Dal Riadan Celt with more wargames minis than space and a vinyl collection that was the soundtrack for the sack of Rome (all Goth innit!). Sometimes goes walking too.

Making my own trees as you've done is probably one of top three enhancements I ever made to my wargames tables. Yours look to be the biz!

In Italy some British infantry units were issued with M1 Grease Guns taken from lease lend tanks. 2nd Battaliion Royal Inniskillings at Anzio is a noted example. That might imply the tankers did not have them.

Chain of Command 2 mainly with a mix of Battlefeont and Peter Pig minis mostly. I also use middle eastern buildings for AK47 and 5 Parsecs From Home.

Wow. I also do all of my gaming in 15mm. The interior details are great. Did you make them or source them?

Nice work. I am presuming the scale is all 28mm?

It was Ebor Lard yesterday. An absolutely great day out of Too Fat Lardies gaming. I didn't take many pictures; too busy playing and chatting! Great to meet and catch up with such a thriving gaming community. #spreadthelard #midgard

Progress on a village water tank for Chain of Command 2 Burma WW2. 15in by 12in, in 15mm or 1/100, is 40m by 30m in reality. Such features were sometimes fortified by the Japanese. Best terrain advice I ever got was to build to fit your storage; 18l RUB. #wargaming #15mm #spreadthelard #terrain

I've started to plan around RUBs. Starting some terrain builds with the specific idea that the footprint fits inside 18litre RUBs. Best advice I ever had about terrain was plan your storage before any build.

I finished these patrol markers today for Chain of Command 2. Cheap to do. Photo manipulation in MS Word. 'Locked' text added . Print. Let ink dry overnight. Glue doublesided onto 50mm mdf rounds from Warbases. AK paint marker to tidy the edge. Idea to table in <24 hours. #spreadthelard #wargaming
