Less than one week until our Gettysburg wargame event! It's crunch time here at the club as we race to finish this huge terrain project in time for the big game. This week we added the details needed to transform these felt boards into stunning battlefields. Fences are a big part of that, but at 1"=100 yards you can't represent fences in a traditional manner. Instead, we used a light brown marker to denote fence lines. Adding fences along both sides of each road has the added benefit of helping the roads stand out visually.
Next, we painted the streams, added flock fields directly to the felt with white craft glue, and tore up bunches of Woodland Scenics foliage clusters to glue down as woods. For this game, we are skipping "removable" woods and will simply move the miniature bases on top of the forest canopy. This saves time during the construction (and the wargaming).
For the final reveal and to see this stunning tabletop in action, be sure to visit Little Wars TV on July 1st, 2019--the 156th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
