Other people’s Portable Wargame battle reports: Ancients, English Civil War, and American Civil War

The last few days have seen a flurry of battle reports on the PORTABLE WARGAME Facebook page.

Ancients by Barry Carter

Barry fought a tough little battle that saw his Romans just about see off an attack by a combined force of Frank’s and Huns.

English Civil War by Russell King

Russell is new to wargaming the English Civil War and began his journey with a refight of the Battle of Tippermuir (1644).

American Civil War by Martin Smith

Martin is fighting an American Civil War Snakes & Ladders campaign and managed to fight the latest battle whilst away from home using his 2mm American Civil War armies and his simple but very effective cloth terrain. A truly portable wargame!

      Jennifer,

      I think that it is actually a table napkin.

      All the best,

      Bob

      A cushion cover, in fact!! The units are on 30mm squares, making the embroidered grids about 45mm. The whole thing is about 430mm / 17” across.

      Martin S.

      I stand corrected …which is probably why I couldn’t find a suitable table napkin when I looked for one!

      All the best,

      Bob

      Haha. I looked in vain too. Knowledge is king!

      Barry Carter,

      I’m glad that I was not alone in my pointless quest!

      All the best,

      Bob

      That gives me an idea. I'll take out the sewing machine and embroider lines on it.
      I could (but probably won't to be honest) get really inspired to embroider hexagons. That would be really pretty.

      Mr. Pavone,

      That sounds like an excellent idea!

      I understand that quilters use hexagonal pieces to make up their quilts … so a quilt made up of various shades of green or brown would be very useable.

      All the best,

      Bob
