The latter looked splendid and, IMHO, demonstrated that a simple, stylised battlefield on a grid can look just as attractive as the diorama-standard displays of military modelling that seem to gain all the kudos in the hobby press and prizes at the shows. <br />The VMS display showed a wargame that was visually attractive, but - more importantly - achievable without an inappropriate expenditure of time and money, and - thanks to Bob's PW rules - actually playable in a reasonable time. <br />Best wishes,<br />Arthur Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090662027113282885noreply@blogger.com
