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!

I need a tablecloth like that...
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
DeleteI 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.
DeleteMartin S.
DeleteI 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!
DeleteBarry Carter,
DeleteI’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.
DeleteI could (but probably won't to be honest) get really inspired to embroider hexagons. That would be really pretty.
Mr. Pavone,
DeleteThat 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
