Shows & Events / Re: Salute 51
Last post by Erpingham - April 13, 2024, 10:49:01 AMWatch out for Bob Cordery, who is apparently motoring around on borrowed mobility scooter. Crowded Salute, inexperienced driver. What could go wrong 
Actually, Bob's been struggling health wise and it looked like he wasn't going to make Salute and the Warlords stepped up and sorted the mobility stuff, which was very decent of them.

Enjoy yourself. (If you haven't already spotted this, large stretches of the DLR - which is how I generally get there - are out of commission this weekend.)

Battle Reports / Re: Little Battles 2024
Last post by dwkay57 - April 13, 2024, 08:50:58 AMThanks for the feedback CarlL.
All the terrain hexes are from Kallistra although a lot of them (e.g. woods, scrub, heath) are the plain tiles with my own toppings added.
Were you referring to the photographs in the short or long reports?

Battle Reports / Re: Little Battles 2024
Last post by CarlL - April 12, 2024, 10:01:02 PMDavid just followed up your battle report of Thracians took on Herod of Judea. Great. Ditto comments above.
Imperial Dave, if you and David (dwkay57) could address notes I made about picture to text ratio, then I think you would have a lovely 'series' potential for future Slingshots.

Just followed up your link to read battle report re Osrhoene against the Greeks from Thessaly. WOW!
Great presentation.
I just wish I knew how to expand your central photos, and minimise your margins. The text in your margins and arrowed / coloured boxes are essential to the story but seem to take up a lot of space compared to your photo in centre of page. And your other photos elsewhere recently show off your small tin men excellently.
Having read your report I feel I have a better grasp of your use of hex terrain to create a grand tactical map like tabletop; and another WOW your terrain layouts are BEAUTIFUL.
Do you make your own terrain hexes or use likes of Kallistra / Hexon terrain tiles?
