This is one of my more crazy projects. The miniatures went smaller yet from 10mm to 6mm, and the rules were actually from a boardgame (Avalon Hill 1980 Guns of August) - Heretical!! That actually describes best the reaction of most of my fellow wargame club mates. Nevertheless I always wanted some miniscale/vs grand scale map wargame going boardgame with the real "General Headquarter" feeling, and GOA was always close to my heart. The Covid 19 gap just gave me time to really finish this, figures were mostly Baccus 6mm, and some Irregular miniatures, a few airplanes were 3D print, the map/mats, I re-designed after the game board and produced it with Tinywargames mats. Once the club will re-open the complete European WW1 is waiting for me, month by month ...

Stunning! Can not wait to start that game. I remember our test game and was hilarious. It will be even better to have both maps involved.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bart! Me too! This will be a fantastic grand campaign!
