The Bergepather has now left the painting table and has been added to my WW2 forces. I should really play a game of two with them, but the English Civil War games are dominating my tabletop at present with two games played through on the campaign. Both battle reports are yet to be written up.

Moving on to a completely different subject. Pretty much all the miniatures are based as units and during a game hits are tracked with dice positioned behind the unit, or placed carefully on the stand so dice and unit move as one. In my next game I plan to us sticky notes, the smaller sized ones, to track hits. They stick quite nicely to the underside of a unit's base with a small overlap which allows hits to be recorded.

Your recovery vehicle turned out nicely!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your upcoming ECW BatReps to catch up on the current campaign situation.
Thank you. I have completed two campaign games so far and need to do the battle reports before I forget too much.
DeleteBeautiful vehicles, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe post-it notes are a clever, simple solution to the issue of recording hits. If one can find notes in a similar shade of green to the battlefield, that would be even better - the black marks will still be visible but the tag will be less glaring to the eye.

Thank you. I will be off to the shops this weekend looking for green sticky notes, rather than the usual bright yellow. I can also record whether a unit is raw, trained or veteran.
