Last Sunday we played Bolt Action Tank War in 6mm. This game is meant to played in 28mm so we just changed that unit of measurement from Inches to Centimeters and it worked perfectly.

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.
-
- The water in the pond is going in one layer at a time. It looks a little white in this photo but it dries clear
-
- The three boards at this end were added tonight.
-
- I’d like to add three more boards to this end if there is time before Friday
-
- I’ll be plating about 60 palm trees tomorrow
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.

- I’m actually placing the bushes based on locations for satellite photos. Yes, I’m a little crazy.
A few new terrain pieces
I guess I’m sort of known for large terrain pieces (after all I did build an Eiffel Tower in 1/285th scale) and when I build pieces in 285th scale, they are actually 285th scale … not some “that looks right” scale that is in between vehicle scale and ground scale. So here are two more pieces I’m working on, a wharfside container crane and a vehicle bridge,,, pieces for two different projects. I’ll probably do two more of the cranes for a total of three.
Playtesting TAC II
Did a little playtesting of TAC II tonight. I had a small area so I doubled all distances. Game lasted just 7 turns and the US won the battle with 4 M2 Bradleys left at the end of the battle. The forces at the beginning wer 10 BMP-2s VS 9 M-2 Bradleys.
