He advocated smaller games that could be set up and played quickly ... and as I get older I am following his lead with enthusiasm. This particular game was played on a dining room-sized table, but my previous battle was fought on a 2' x 2' cloth that would easily have fitted on a coffee table.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-50807222202985310122014-12-04T12:58:39.507+00:002014-12-04T12:58:39.507+00:00That's a proper game of toy soldiers!

This is gaming like I used to do when I was young and played perfectly satisfactory games with unpainted Airfix figures on our coffee table at home. legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-27508907218848303872014-12-01T09:04:43.974+00:002014-12-01T09:04:43.974+00:00Ross Mac,

It also gave me the opportunity to use part of my collection that normally only sees the light of day during the Summer months ... and then not very often.<br /><br />I need to acquire/make some basic terrain items if I want to use my Britains toy soldiers again for tabletop wargames, but that should not be too difficult a task. As to my 3-inch square gridded cloth ... well that is 12 x 16 and should allow me to fight slightly bigger battles.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-72076383606989715652014-12-01T02:37:58.026+00:002014-12-01T02:37:58.026+00:00A nice little game!

It made a very pleasant change to use some of my Britains toy soldiers.<br /><br />I try to make my battle reports as informative as I can but not too wordy, hence the use of as many photographs as possible. With luck I should be able to stage another play-test in about a week or so ... but it will probably not feature my Britains toy soldiers.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28517059067889664882014-11-30T18:57:24.784+00:002014-11-30T18:57:24.784+00:00Ioannis,

You are right about not needing a large number of figures to have fun wargaming; all you need is some good rules, a good scenario, and a bit of imagination.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-48816914811970287342014-11-30T14:55:58.225+00:002014-11-30T14:55:58.225+00:00Excellent stuff Bob, and a real treat to see Brita...Excellent stuff Bob, and a real treat to see Britains' toy soldiers still in use :-) Really enjoy these postings and that's a great write up as well.
