Siege of Acre 1191 - TerrainFest 2023
Getting Side Tracked! - By Napoleon of course!!!
Drying time is an opportunity to kick back and research and it was during this little break that I delved even deeper into the history of the Acre Port and Stronghold.
That was when I learned that Napoleon himself laid siege to this city in 1799 during his ‘Middle East Phase’ where he quite fancied himself as a bit of an Alexander the Great.
So ofcourse like any wargamer I get completely side tracked for a while and even start to 3D print some 15mm scaled ships to use on this table for a period shift to Napoleonic time scales…
However it was time well spent...
I was able to modify the components of the excellent modular ship file to create crusader style cogs complete with cute little battlements!
Meanwhile drying was taking ages – not the spray… but the thinned silicone so time for drastic measures – take it outside!
