Thunder Run ,,, The Night Before

Trial run for our big Thunder Run game scheduled for tomorrow night. Tonight we had three players and we had a great time. Two guys ran the Iraqi forces and one guy ran the Americans. The Americans were outnumbered two to one and got their asses handed to them but they made a great effort. The entire exchange lasted about 7 turns and tool a little over two hours to play. Tomorrows game should have at least 6 players and take 4 or 5 hours.

 

Baghdad Parade Grounds Boards – Done For Now

I’ve done about all I can before the convention this weekend.  There is almost no end of the detail I could keep adding … but this is good enough for now.

Baghdad Parade Grounds Boards Progress

This project is going right up to the wire.  It’s early Tuesday morning right now and I’ve got to  have these boards at a convention in Los Angeles on Friday.  It’s going to be close.  Honestly, they could go just as they are right now .. but I really want to get a lot more detail added before Friday and if I can somehow manage it I would love to get one more row of boards on the east end of the set.

Progress on the Parade Grounds boards

Well, the convention in Los Angeles is exactly 2 weeks away and I still have lots to do to finish these boards … so the sensible thing to do at this point was to add another row of three boards to each end of the setup.

Now the entire array will be 3 boards wide and 6 boards long (5′ x 12′)

Here are the three boards being added to the west end of the parade grounds.

Parade Grounds Progress – 8/12/14

Ground covering is going in and it’s starting to take shape.  Still lots of work to do south of the buildings in the parking lot areas and the southwest and southeast corners where there will be a lot smaller buildings.
