Williamsburg Muster 2017!

6/1/2017

This last weekend I had the blast attending this year's Williamsburg Muster! Familiar faces and a new venue were both great to see and I hosted my (becoming traditional) pair of Hail Of Fire games. I built my table starting from how I set up at Cold Wars, but you can see it slowly evolving, with lichen hedges and swaths of teddy bear open fields.

I was able to get 4 players for my Saturday evening game, and a pair of them came back to play yet again on Sunday, so 6 new players total. Both games resulting in Allied victories over the defending German forces. Overall a fun time, as always, and it sounds like a couple players are already looking forward to playing again at Guns Of August!

Now to prep for Historicon!

Very nice terrain, the table looks fantastic!

If I may inquire: what are the patches of darker grass made from? Commercial product or scratch-built? They add a very effective "rough ground" look.

Thanks, Rex!

The dark grass are moss mats from Michaels. Seen here: http://www.michaels.com/square-moss-mat-by-ashland/10500972.html

They're cheap to begin with, but you can constantly find 50% off coupons on their site and elsewhere. They don't sit will right off the bat, so I peeled the bitten lay off mine, removed as much of the filling as I could and then broke it up into smaller shapes. Took about an hour to do the 4 pieces I bought, and very messy. But worth it!
