I couldn't resist sharing these pictures with you, showing the setup for tonight's game of Dux Britanniarum. The terrain was set up by my good mate Dalauppror, who has a real talent for making beautiful tables, and this time he really outdid himself.
Buildings, markers, minis and trees by yours truly. The rest of the terrain is from the club.
The game? Well, the Saxons were out to plunder the church but had a really rough nigh. But with two newcomers commanding them and the terrain placement perhaps being a bit too tough on them, this was only to be expected. Still, I think everyone had a good time – I certainly enjoyed visiting this old favourite of mine!
A full report with pictures of the action will be posted in due time.

Cheers Mattias! Well, I've been busy lately and built me some more trees. The latest batch was a little more involved as I sculpted roots on them, but it was well worth it as they look much better than the first ones.
DeleteBeautiful table Jonas, and good to see your terrain in such a nice frame too. Hope you guys had a great game!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sören! We had a great time last night. Sorry you couldn't make it but I'm sure there will be other opportunities.
DeleteVery impressive stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve!
DeleteExcellent looking game and a prime example of just how much good wargames terrain and scenery can really make a game look fantastic- and of course, more fun to play :>)
ReplyDeleteDarrell.
Thank you Darrell! I agree wholeheartedly about the importance of terrain and scenery for an enjoyable game.

DeleteLooks like a great table Jonas!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger! I owe it all to Michael who set the table up.
DeleteMy goodness that is impressive, can't wait to hear how you get on.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael, much appreciated!
DeleteTerrific pictures, realistic and beautiful details on each of them...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much indeed Phil!
DeleteI had a great time revisiting Dux and playing at the fantastic table.
ReplyDeleteThe Good side won, as it should be. It was obviously our superior tactics that won the day (I won't hear any talk of jinxed dice)
Hey Joakim, thanks for playing and I'm glad to hear you had a good time! I think at least some of the Saxons' dice were pretty jinxed. :)
DeleteWonderful table!
ReplyDeleteThat's some excellent terrain for some great figs - full marks to Michael for the setup, though we've come to expect no less!
