The Empire Responds to the invasion of the Uruk Hai
Experimentation
This board is 3 foot by 2 foot. I’ve recieved wargames illustrated with the free ECW epic sprue from warlord. I bought one extra and a cannon sprue. Split the strips in half and am playing 28mm games using cm instead of inches. This board is now a 8x5 foot equivalent. I’m very surprised it has worked but I don’t know why I’m surprised. There is some kind of hobby mental block sometimes, I’ve gotta have x cos it’s official etc etc. you really don’t. I’ve made this in 3 evenings at about 1.5 hours an evening. The magazines, extra sprue and railway trees cost me £46 in total. That’s quite cheap compared to this in 28mm scale. We are having fun too. The icing on the cake is it only takes 10 minutes to set up or pack away. Not ages, so I can have a quick game on the fly of kings of war or hail Caesar or pike and shotte. Play through a scenario to see if it’s worth the effort setting it all up in 28mm for a wider audience. I think I will just spray them one colour. Blue team and red team kind of thing. 
It looks like that princess on the other side of the table means business with her wand.
Great idea to use a scaled down game as a testing ground before committing to playing a scenario that doesn’t quite gel.
Cheers man, I am surprised at how much I am enjoying myself with this given how low a bar it is. I just don’t mind the low paint jobs or the low production quality of terrain. I feel like I’m weightless from pressure and playing a good version of risk.
That princess always means business and has never taken prisoners! A quote : “now we kill them with trees dad!”

It’s a shame the pike & shotte sprues aren’t coloured like the Epic ACW & Napoleonics, as you’d be a step further ahead again.
Very true. But I’ve picked up a dark blue spray by tamiya for the Scot’s Covenanters which pleases me.
The starter box seems to have grey and tan sprues and I’ve recently done my mates bathroom for him which leaves him owing me a box of something. It may well end up being epic pike and shotte starter box.

Because, you know. I need more to do of course……
