There are four weeks left until we film our Gettysburg wargame event. Table construction began this week and members of our "Free Stuff" page can follow the progress right here! We're starting with the 1868 Warren map, arguably the single most famous map made of the battlefield. We are scaling this map to 1"=100 yards on a 8'x6' tabletop made of polystyrene insulation board. We had to split that board into two sections for transportation purposes.
So far this week we've transcribed the main features of the map onto our two boards and started cutting out the topographic terrain for the northern section. Plenty of work remains to be done! Next week we'll bring you more photos of the progress.
Remember--this will be part of an interactive wargame event where YOU can vote on the orders for Lee and Meade's army. Become an armchair general and go issue your orders right now!
