Hello all,
Here are some pictures from a recent Blitzkrieg Commander game played at Walt’s Hobby shop in Syracuse, NY. The game used the mid war German and Russian lists and both armies were approximately 3200 points. I really enjoyed playing this game and I am already making plans for another game using the version 2 rules.

Bryan,

What was the base cloth / material made from? It seems flexible but also to keep its shape over formers below despite units on top?

Great troops, scenery and photos too.

Thanks for the comments. The miniatures are 15mm. Most are from battlefront but I also mixed in some Peter Pig and Old Glory. Yes, the KO markers are from Litko. As you can see from the pictures we had a lot of destroyed tanks. So, if you’re doing an armor on armor battle you’re going to need a lot of them. The grass mat is from the Terrain Guys. Under the mat we used polyfill.

Polyfill? Never?!! Surely not? I was thinking good old Donald Featherstone with books or old socks under the grass mat!!
Well I be damned...polyfill? Go on HOW!!?

Carl - I think 'polyfill' is the stuff you bung inside pillows - not 'Polyfilla', which our trans-Atlantic brethren will know as 'spackle'. Cool

As an aside, has anyone used/seen the 10mm roads from The Terrain Guy? They look useful, and even with postage they are cheaper than the Magister Militum ones.
