Hi all

Just to let you know about a recent Epic A clash between myself and Cybershadow (yes I finally got round to doing a report on it Cy!). The battle report and pictures can be found at the following website

http://www.angelfire.com/space2/newangl ... etown.html

As with all our recent battles they are loosely based on historical encounters. In this case the battle of Villers Bocage in 1944. More info on that particular fight can be found at this url

Thanks for the report with pics. It always brings back fond memories when I see someone using SM1 buildings!   :)

Glad to have given a you a good start to the day Darfca. Sorry about the large number of unpainted SM1 era minis in the photographs. Despite having collected Epic since 1990  I'd say about 90% of my collection remains in pristine condition....

The old SM1 buildings are the only ones I have in 6mm scale. My collection had to go into storage when I moved house 2 years ago, all the terrain that did not fit comfortably in the boxes available at the time sadly had to go in the bin. Only the SM1 buildings could pass the test!

On the plus side all the other terrain, hills, grass roads etc is brand new!

Great stuff - thanks very much for sharing!
Nice terrain - are the roads sections of textured rubber?

GG, don't worry about the unpainted minis. Most of mine are unpainted also.

Both of us have mostly unpainted forces... but big plans for all of the little guys!

Thanks for putting that up, G/G. I would have never got around to it, and it is good to see the battle online. Perhaps our next game can go the same way?

Oh please, at this point in my life, I would rather play then have all painted minis.   :laugh:

Of course both would be nice too.  :;):

Tas: The roads in the pics come from S&A Scenics (a UK company and the lazy wargamer?s true ally!). The roads have a textured rubberised top with a felt backing. They are not the most realistic piece of wargaming terrain but they are tough, flexible and cling to undulations in the terrain.

S&A scenics market them as dirt roads for 20mm scale, but they make great highways for 6mm. These are the ?wide? roads. They do narrower ones but they seem more like paths even at 6mm. They also do them in black tarmac finish, but I haven?t bought any of these yet.

The URL for S&A is:

Super Heavy tanks: Mmmm great if their on my team, but if their on the other side I think they should be banned??That?s why my orks remained broken for most of the game!
