I...Hi Ross,<br /><br />Still doodling at the moment, but:<br /><br />I'm thinking at least 6-8 metres long at least, and T-shaped. I am working on how to use scrolling terrain if this seems needful. I think i will also use a couple of small tables "across the river" on which to build Fort Omdurman. This might also go some way to defining the width of the river.<br /><br />Player numbers? Realistically about 10-12, I think.<br /><br />The game wiill be played out as a single campaign over two to two-and-a-half days.<br /><br />I agree that Khartoum will need to be pretty big and I think a square metre is not unreasonable.<br /><br />This will most assuredly be a game rather than a show.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-38088451233103770782012-10-01T02:39:21.253+10:002012-10-01T02:39:21.253+10:00Just a couple of random thoughts and questions. Ho...Just a couple of random thoughts and questions. How big will the table be with how many players? How long is the game supposed to take to play? or is it mostly for show?<br /> <br />I was pondering the footprint of Khartoum given the size of the garrison. To avoid making them too comfortable, it seems to me like a city of at least a meter x a meter is needed if not more, add a river with a far bank, room for artillery etc. I was picturing a T shaped table or a gap between tables for the river with boats on pedestals etc. but a smaller table would surely need a smaller garrison to make sure they aren't too think on the walls?<br /><br />Magnificent project at any rate.<br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-74490869504519682982012-09-30T17:19:55.846+10:002012-09-30T17:19:55.846+10:00I like it when the basing color is at least close ...I like it when the basing color is at least close to the table top color . . . not always doable, of course, . . . but it sure looks good when it works.<br /><br />At a minimum I try to have all of the basing in an army the same anyway.<br /><br />Your troops look good, Greg.<br /><br /><br />-- Jeff<br /><br /><br />Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.com
