A portable Portable Wargame board? I think so!

True to their word, Warbases not only produced the larger version of the JUGULA game board that I requested, but also delivered it to me in double-quick time!

The original, smaller board looked like this ...


... but the larger one looks like this:


The increase from 40mm squares to 50mm squares makes a lot of difference, as can be seen from the above. (The figures and terrain items have been used to show how much a difference the increase in size makes.)

The larger board has an 8 x 8 squared grid that measures 400mm x 400mm, and the board itself measures 480mm x 480mm. The maximum dimensions of each of the four parts are 240mm x 240mm ... which makes it very easy to pack away and store.


I'm itching to try the new board out, but I need to finish work on my 'Carry On up the Nile!' project first ... which should be by the end of the week!

      I certainly plan to colour it in some way.

  3. It's becoming a way of life or rather a philosophy! An IKEA approach to wargaming

      Nothing wrong with that in my opinion ... especially if it comes with Swedish meatballs, chips, and sauce!

      All the best,

  4. Just taken delivery of a 40mm board. Very portable.
    Next (inevitably) the 50mm version.

      I'm currently painting my 40mm board ... and learning some useful lessons along the way. In due course I'll be writing a blog entry about how it turns out,

      All the best,

      Bob

  5. I look forward to reading your observations on painting the board. I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to painting anything beyond just slapping a base colour on a surface.

      I'm trying one or two 'new' techniques to get the effect I want to achieve.

      All the best,
